It's usually software. For Nintendo, it dependant on if they can produce games that consumers want. For any other manufacturer, it depends on who secures the most and/or best third parties. That's been the trend so far at least. With increasing emphasis on multimedia functionality, the importance of games will decrease slightly while the importance of "secondary" features will increase dramatically, I think.
