Interesting part :
Taking all that into account, it's abundantly clear that both Microsoft and Nintendo are keenly aware of the importance of third parties in the future success of their consoles, but it also highlights one important point: If Nintendo wasn't a Microsoft competitor, why would it care about Nintendo's claims of dominance?
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
But in the end, there's really no way to judge the success of third parties on either console in a way that would be fair to all parties involved. Sure, there are a number of factors involved, including hardware sales and first-party sales, but it's practically impossible to compare each fairly.
Microsoft was contacted for a response. So far, it has yet to respond.

You could be right. The LEGO games are really popular within hardcore gamers too. It also doesn't try to be the movie, so realistic fighting is not important.

TheTimeRanger posted on Industry News at 2:23PM PST on August 12, 2008. Article: Jeffery: Yu Suzuki Still working for SegaSega president Simon Jeffery appeared to have misspoke on the employment fate of famed game designer Yu Suzuki when he told Gamasutra that the Outrun creator was no longer employed at the company. Turns out, he is! Hooray! Said to be bearing the title Creative Officer of Sega Corp., Suzuki may be (extremely) low profile and the opposite of prolific, but it appears he's still getting his checks signed by Sega.
