Seems pretty obvious, but I don't really agree that consumers are to blame. Who cares about how many games a console has, really? Fanb... er, "enthusiasts" who engage in list wars on forums, I suppose, but that's it. A majority of consumers demand appealing games and a consistent schedule of releases, and while those people might not visit forums to compare list pen0rz, they speak with their wallets. Which is what really matters, and that's who companies should be listening to.
Each of these companies has been in the business for over a decade. They should know how this very basic shit works by now.
