I think you essentially disproved your own argument here. According to this ranking system, the DS has far more shovelware than the 360 or PS3. Yet in terms of sales... well, do I even need to say anything? The DS is the best-selling video game platform of all time, console or handheld. Clearly the presence of shovelware did nothing to hurt it; almost certainly the opposite, to be honest.
And without jumping into a (very) old argument, Rol is correct on the 5th generation console war. Sony's opening up of their platform to unlimited third party development is the primary reason why they were successful. I believe that this has been Sony's greatest innovation in the gaming industry, much more so than any games they've developed.
