Because Sony is the only company in this industry truly investing to make video games a valid artform.
Team ICO have an unlimited budget despite not making commercially successful games. Flower, Flow, MGS, LBP, and others, they make, sponsor and promote games with artistic sensibilities rather than just trying to cash in on the less sophisticated mainstream market.
They are willing to lose money on their consoles and their games (Team ico and others) to elevate the industry. Nintendo is doing the opposite by giving the perception of the industry being a toy, rather than a valid form of social, political or artistic expression/commentary.
