Also, one of the key purposes of the PS3 was to drive Blu Ray as the standard, which succeeded. |
Nintendo might have been better not making Wii and just focusing on games - except for the fact that there arguably wasn't another console that was going to launch with a fresh, new controller interface. One of the purposes of the Wii was to povide a new experience and it succeeded in doing so.

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.

I'd rather Nintendo continue producing consoles because they not only make great games, they make great hardware as well. That's right, they make great hardware. For most people on gaming forums, great hardware might just mean powerful but believe it or not, there are people who like that Nintendo offers something new hardware-wise every new gen (besides GC, that is). It's annoying that so many people seem to think it's somehow a bad thing that one of the three does something different.
