The Wii most definitely does not belong on the list yet. The consoles biggest problem is its library, or more specifically the lack of one. There is less then a mere handful of highly regarded titles. I would argue the same for the PS3. A good library is a critical part of the equation. The games define a console and without the games you have no claim.
Nintendo has Mario, Brawl, and Metroid. Zelda and Resident Evil can't make the cut being ports. I am talking about games with critical acclaim. Previous Nintendo systems offered up a larger volume of high quality games in a shorter span of time.
Sony has Resistance, Ratchet, Drake, and perhaps Warhawk. Once again it hasn't reached the bare minimum requirement. You really need to have more critically acclaimed games to make a case.
Now will that be the case at the end of this generation thats yet to be decided, but you can't judge a console on potential. You have to judge it on performance, and right now neither Nintendo or Sony has performed in the library department in a significant way. They need more games under their belt, and they have to be dramatic. We can only anticipate right now, but if last year taught us anything its this don't count your chickens before they hatch.
