Sony: They definitely thought ahead when building their system. Even if the price point was terribly off-putting at first, and even though they seemed to sacrifice the game library early on, I think it's a big advantage for them later on. Plus they're putting an awful lot of effort into first party games, which is a very good thing. +2 for Sony!

Microsoft: Diversified their line-up a lot, shedding the Shooterbox label completely (only the most obtuse can ignore this), and has been leading the way in online gaming. They've also helped push digital distribution a lot- I'm just glad they finally got their DRM somewhat sorted.

Nintendo: New ideas that make the hardcore shake their heads and make tons of money for the Big N. It's fascinating to watch, and the DS is hands down my favorite of the current systems. Destroying the industry with their fun, LOL...
