Sony: We're going to release a fuck-as-all-hell powerful system that will last at least ten years!
Microsoft: Well, we released a system just four years after our first one because GRAPHICS ARE GETTING SO AWESOME.
Nintendo: We're gonna hold off on this hi-def thing until it becomes financially viable. Instead, we're doing waggle.
Sony and Microsoft: LOL NINTENDO U SO KIDDY UR GRAPHICS SUCK WHAT IS THAT WIIMOTE A DILDO OR LOLLIPOP LOL.
Nintendo: *makes cash*
Sony: Fuck, Nintendo's gotten rich off their dildo. I guess we should do the logical thing and release one of our own.
Microsoft: Fuck that, I'm gonna release a thing where you don't need controllers!
Sony: And our things will be in glorious hi-def! Which we still haven't learned that everyone who bought the Wii doesn't care about!
Nintendo: Don't forget your gaming division operates exclusively in the red, guys.
Microsoft: Dude shut uuuuuuup.
Nintendo: Well, now that we've made our millions and it's been six years, we're releasing a hi-def system. With a huge controller that also has a screen.
Sony: A-HA! So you admit we were right all along!
Microsoft: Silly Nintendo, you can't do any of this big gaming business stuff right!
