We'll see if it works this time, but Nintendo's main concern isn't either sales or gameplay so much as profitability. Not a bad thing, but it's not likely the way to the top either.
I agree with you on this. Every company has its first concern on profitability. I don't think Nintendo is worried in being no1. All they want is making a (very) profitable console. That's why Wii doesn't have a $200 price right now. They could do it, if they wanted it that bad.
On the contrary, Sony doesn't want to make just a game console because they are not only on the console market. They're on the HD market and they want to sell tv's, projectors and blu-ray.
We have the «romantic» view of this business, but don't doubt that for most of them, it's not all about the games. And i think Nintendo has a better approach than Sony simply because they do need good games to survive. Sony can live of other electronic stuff.
