Mario is a much, much bigger franchise than Uncharted. 

But for the sake of argument - yes, Sony might have been better off not making the PS3 and just focusing on really great games - except for the fact that there arguably wasn't a console that could support Uncharted 2/3.  Also, one of the key purposes of the PS3 was to drive Blu Ray as the standard, which succeeded.

Selfishly, from the perspective of a gamer, *somebody* has to produce consoles, but not everybody does.  I'd rather the company producing consoles be Sony, because Sony produces great consoles and some great games.  I'm not a fan of Nintendo's consoles, but I'm a huge fan of their games. I do not plan to buy a Wii U - but if there were a Mario or Zelda game on the PS4, I'd most definitely buy it.

Finally, I'm not talking about handhelds.  I don't follow them.  So I don't care if Nintendo produces handhelds.  Maybe they should, maybe they shouldn't - I'm not close enough to that part of the market to know or care.  I'm focused on home consoles for the purpose of this discussion.

This is not an anti-Nintendo argument for me.  I love Nintendo.  I've owned 4 out of their 6 home consoles. 


Obviously you see how this argument cuts both ways, no?
