[QUOTE="PusherT"][QUOTE="ZebethOrZebes"]the cycle can continue as long as they want because after a certain point Nintendo will become a "Niche" brand, meaning Sony/MS can in thoery share 95% of the market making Nintendo a non factorableBeing third in marketshare does not equal a flop, necessarily. Especially if the overall market grows. I'm expecting the Wii to do poorly in North America and Europe, but it will still help Nintendo grow their business and turn a large profit. I predict you'll see an even more revolutionary console for generation #6 that won't do all that well that their competitors will incorporate into their systems.
The cycle will continue as long as Nintendo turns a profit, and they've managed to, even though they're in "third place" as you put it.

That's like saying that because FIFA sells more than Winning Eleven, Winning Eleven isn't worth talking about. It isn't worth talking about in context to the "Market Leaders" Nintendo is heading towards Niche much like that Nokia NGage is. Nokia NGage still have customer as people still buy games for it but it niche when compared to PSP/GBA/DS.
After a certain point if the trend continues then it will be moot to mention Nintendo in the same breath as Sony/MS
just perfect for the controller
