Well sony has put out some amazing games and has unfortunately not been rewarded enough for it while Nintendo has put out okay games and has been royally rewarded at least on the console sale side. I think nintendo now has a hold on the mind of the casual market the same way that an old political assumption might, for example if I told you that we should reconsider our opposition to communism you might try to kill me, well it's the same for the people who support the Wii, there would be no way to reason with them. Note though that the 2 are not equivalent.

Whereas the Ps3 remains stigmatized in the eyes of the mainstream for its pricing and it still can't stop the exponential growth of xbox live which attracts more and more people the more and more people want to play with their friends online leaving the ps3 unfortunately in the dust do to its late release and initial heavy pricing.
