Nintendo should do well if they have a solid game library. Sony and Microsoft aren't making much profit, if any, with their expensive consoles and lack of in-house game development. It's hard to create loyalty without true franchises like Mario, Sonic, or Zelda. That's probably why Sony and Microsoft can't "afford" to create a less-powerful and less expensive console. Their primary appeal is graphics not gameplay. That's not to say neither company has provided some good games. It's just not their forte. X-Box 360 has the weakest game library I've ever seen for a highly anticipated console in a long time. It's about gameplay not graphics for me. I appreciate nice graphics but if the game play is wack and the camera angles suck, then why bother with pretty graphics. If Nintendo works on improving their sports, first-person shooter, racing, and fighting games then they'll be fine. Nintendo has always been weak with sports. Sega used to crush them in sports.
