Key's to their success:
1. constant system delivery - they're hard to find because they're constantly selling out, not because they're not available.
2. price - MS upped their console's price range. Sony ... we know about them.
3. innovation - they gambled on the Wii-mote. It paid off.
I also assume they have the manufacturing process down perfectly to reduce all waste (time,parts,ect) They are really good at lean manufacturing.
I'll admit before the wii (from an ignorant point of view) I thought Nintendo was slowly dying. But I'm glad to see they are doing so well
