Erm... Sony doing better sounds fine and all, but where does Nintendo fit into this future?

Also, do you really think there will be another "Wii Sports" next gen? It's not as if there's one every generation. It's even less likely such a game would come from Sony, they don't capture the mass market like Nintendo does.

Yes, because Sony didn't create the number most successfull (PS2) and number 2 most successfull (PS1) consoles of all time...They weren't the ones credited way back in the PS1 era as having made gaming mainstream and inviting to casual gamers....

I'll give them some credit on their PS1 games (Grand Turismo, Crash, and to a leser extent, Spyro), their IPs did very well on that platform.

However, with the exception of Gran Turismo, on the PS2 they were completely overshadowed by third parties. The majority of people didn't actually buy the system for their games - instead, they bought it for GTA, FF, Madden, etc. I have a PS2 (and some PS games) and didn't own a single game made by Sony until I bought Shadow of the Colossus 2 years ago.

According to this site, Sony has only 2 titles that have gone over 10 million. Nintendo has 25, and 11 of these were made in this gen alone.
