Nintendo is gaming, Sony/Microsoft are questionable.

@dharh: I suspect you haven't found a single Wii game.

Innovation as a term means roughly "renewing". Biggest difference between "innovation" and "invention" is, that invention doesn't need to benefit anything.

There are two kinds of innovations, incremental innovations, where a product is made better little by little, and radical innovations, where the consept of the product is different. 360 and PS3 represent incremental innovation, while Wii is radical one.

Incremental innovations are usually not considered as innovative, due to them offering so little benefit over the old product, while radical innovations are praised everywhere for their advantage over the old product.

Wii is praised for innovation, because of the benefits it offer over incremental innovation and PS360 aren't, because they don't offer anything that last gen didn't, except that the hardware are improved versions of last gen consoles.

And no, Nintendo isn't doing it wrong since it's expanding the market.

Check my games list, the last wii game I have is from 2007.

I agree with your classification of types of innovation, but I defy anyone who claims that the hard drive and online gaming only offer a little benefit. They may not be as 'game' changing as the wiimote is for people who like motion controls, but it adds a ton of benefit for me.

But whatever. I won't jump on the bandwagon just because a bunch of people tell me too. Until I find something compelling, it just ain't happening.
