I think the real issue here, and it's an issue that people who've followed Nintendo's history know well, is the strong negative hype surrounding the PS3. It reminds me of the relative negativity surrounding the N64 or the long-standing "Nintendo is teh kiddie" image. And, much like the "Sony is completely arrogant and their console is overpriced and gameless" hype, there is a decent basis in truth for these statements. But even when big(ish) titles like Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes or Eternal Darkness hit the GC, that kiddie image stuck, and it took a new console to at all reset that image. A public image is difficult to shake, and the PS3's is getting fairly entrenched at this point.
