i guess if you're talking like, PURELY consoles yeah, but before the wii came all the gameboys which were also significantly different from the norm at the time and ended up being wildly successful for nintendo. i think they did enter it willingly with the wii and knowing that they were filling a very very obvious niche that other manufacturers were neglecting (family games, kid games etc) and it seemed to me like the logical progression from the gameboys alongside the ds
idk if they're really embracing the noncompetitiveness as much as just like... not worrying about it if that makes sense. it sounds like the same thing but i think they're two distinct attitudes and the latter is more reflected in their products. like they know they're gonna be doing something ppl will buy bc they kinda have the monopoly on that particular niche, but they still make quality products anyway
