No competitors products interfering, no comparisons between which system stole the show. They get all the press, all the magazine covers, all the front page stories to themselves. People would have to be blind not to notice.
hmm... that plan sounds kinda familar.
*tries to remember how well that strategy went*


thing is tho, it pisses people off when the other companies give people what they want to hear, and nintendo never seems to. and the more people nintendo pisses off, (be it for a valid reason, or a BS reason like not wanting people to steal ideas) the more people that begin to look elsewhere.
