Very well put. Your argument holds a lot of water. There is just one problem. The Wii. So far the PS2 has outsold the original XBOX by about 5 or 6 times, and the PS2 is still going. So far the 360 is outselling the PS3 by about 1/3 at best. Last generation the GameCube was the butt of the industry. This generation the GameCube 2.0, or "Wii", is selling at about where the PS2 was in it's life cycle. If Nintendo had tried to just do what they did last generation, keeping up hardware-wise, they would have been swept under the rug again, and we really would have had a repeat of last generation. But that didn’t happen because Nintendo went "Eff processing power and HD, we're gonna shake shat up with waggle-mania!" And as much as I hate to say it, it worked. Old people, women, kids ate that crap up and asked for seconds. And that's the difference between this generation and the last. That and the 360's horrible hardware failure rates. If it wasn't for motion control and hardware issues, the Xbox 360 would have truly been the juggernaut that the PS2 was last generation.
