Sony - risk
Nintendo - innovation

And to say the Wii was a risk for Nintendo is a bit false; they didn't have much to lose. They were practially shown the way out of the industry back in the GC days.

Except you can make the argument that Nintendo took the risk of saving the gaming industry (again), or watching it collapse, like in the Atari days

It needed saving??? From what??? 

Sales were better than ever... Gaming had become a completely main stream form of entertainment. It looked less likely to die than the movie industry...

You said sales, but you didn't mention profits, profits are the lifeblood of companies, and companies like Sony and MS are bleeding money in the gaming market, notice the number of mergers going on, its a sign of a market in danger when the companies have to be massive in order to survive

Most 3rd party games are going on 2-3 platforms at the exact same time... Playstation3, Xbox360 and often PC. Nintendo's most likely making more profit than ever but they're also having their best sales ever. I don't see what they're doing for any other company on the Wii. There doesn't seem to be that many companies putting any extensive effort on the Wii when compared to PS360/PC. So I really don't see how the Wii is helping to save anything but Nintendo themselves. It' hasn't made that big of an impact on the industry in general for me to say that it "saved it".

The DS doesn't seem to be doing drastically amazing enough to say it's really boosting the industry compared to the GBA. I will say that software sales on the DS is quite impressive though.
