As well I should.

I think where we disagree is this: I don't think that Nintendo has won this generation by "being Nintendo". I think it's won this generation by being innovative and being ahead of the game when it comes to the sports-related minigames that have enjoyed such spectacular success in recent years. They pioneered this genre and came to dominate it long before Sony and Microsoft were even conscious of the fact that it was a potential source of sales and profits.

But there's nothing Nintendo about a game like Wii Sports or Wii Fit. Sony could come out with PlayStation Fit next generation and no one would have any reason whatsoever to prefer the Nintendo version over it, or vice versa. And if they have no reason to prefer the Nintendo flavor of casual shovelware over the Sony/Microsoft version, it will all come down to the hardcore exclusives that each consolemaker brings to bear.
