I'm not looking for a "winner" that beats its competition by a small margin, and may yet get outsold in the long run (the PS360 have not shown signs of slowing down, the Wii is dead in the water). Especially not when the sum of the competition demolished Wii's total sales.

So there is winner and there is winner. If you're content with a marginal winner, then good for you. I want to see Nintendo at its full potential, and I know alot of people IRL and online who want that too. It would hurt nobody for Nintendo to try something like SotC. It's minimalistic, evoking and caters to that segment that Nintendo desperately needs. It's nice to have 3rd parties and all do it, it worked for the 1st playstation, but what kept the PS3 alive was that Sony themselves did it. So, there you have it.

I'm not asking for Nintendo to become Sony, I'm asking them to be Nintendo and take some inspiration from Sony and integrate what works for Sony AND what worked for Nintendo in the past on the NES and on the SNES, and make the ultimate Nintendo platform nobody can complain about.

I don't care what you are looking for, and by a small margin. The margin between the 360 and PS3 is small and its taking the PS3 more than 6 years to overcome it lol. When it gets outsold then you will have an argument so try again. They have definitely showed signs of slowing down lol, they are in decline as we speak so fail again. The fact that you actually considered adding them up, is sad to say the least. SOTC will sell horrible like all of Sony's ips so no, I don't want Ninty to waste time catering to a base that put Sony in last. It worked for the 1st playstation, which didn't get beat by a platform w/o any 3rd party support. So that's what Sony should have done, tell me you don't really believe Sony would rather have a failure like the PS3 instead of a console like the PS1 lol. No matter what there will always be complaints, how old are you? No offense you seem to be young, you think if Ninty took one of there developers and made something like SOTC, nobody would complain? Whatever game that developer usually makes would not be made so those fans would complain. Ofcourse SOTC needs a talented developer, so lets say the Zelda team. Zelda which has a bigger fanbase than SOTC(You do know that game would be lucky to get pass 3 million right?) Zelda fans would go crazy. So no, let Sony be Sony and Ninty be Ninty. When they try to be Sony, hardcore gamers show no support, ask the Gamecube, when they try to be Ninty, they win.

Edit: Those graphs are a joke lol, the Wii crossed 1 million in a single week 9 times in its lifetime, while the PS3 could only do it once. Thats where that 30M gap came from and when the PS3 actually catches up, then you will have an argument. Ofcourse it wouldn't matter since by that time the WiiU would be smashing the PS4 and the gap between 3DS and Vita could be as large as 80M.
