I woudn't go as far as you did. I may fit in your description but I still find some of the 360 and ps3 games interesting.
The big success of Nintendo IMO is that they are still selling the systems to the parents.
Microsoft ans Sony are selling systems so the gamers can buy them for themselves. Yes, I bought my Wii for me, but I also bought it for my family, my wife and my 4 years old kid. So I am like a superhero gamer with a secret identity. During the day I play Wii Sports and SMG, and at night I sit in my studio to surf the web, read some forums and play some hardcore PC Games. So during the daytime I can have a blast from the past with my kid, wife, parents and friends. During the nightime, specially when there's fullmoon, I feel I need something more sexy and bloody. And I wouldn't mind play on a 360 or ps3. But I have my PC to fulfil that need. And it is not like I am a casual during the day and hardcore at night. I can be pretty harcore about Wii fit and Wii music, as you probably would. It's no a question about being hardcore or not. I am both, and even though I am thinking about a ps2 or 360 to play mostly during the night time, I am pretty satisfied now with my Wii-PC combo. So in terms of the kind of games and money, yeah, with the money for a 360 I can upgrade my PC to make an ultimate Harcore Gaming Plattform. And as you say, there's no law against PCs in the living room.
But... I can´t stop thinking about how would my living room look like with more than three gaming consoles... 'cause when the night comes...
