How can Sony (home) consoles sell more on average than Nintendo (home) consoles if Sony steals Nintendo's ideas?

About the question, because the Nintendo consoles you mention doesn't have the same third party support than the sony ones.

And finally, the Wii was a beast. It shows how Nintendo with the right output and few but key third party support can still output the sony consoles.

PS1 ;o

I'm really talking about all Nintendo consoles, though. Just on average Sony sees much higher sales.

Wii did well, but not nearly as well as PS2 did in terms of units sold.

PS1 controller do you mean? Because the rip-off is a tad to late considering the original was more similar to the Snes one than to the N64 controller.
