I made a series of threads last year calling every console "gaming's biggest underdog" and pretty much everybody felt their console was the one that rose up against all odds to become a huge success. It's funny how that worked. I only compared home consoles, though.
--PS3--came back from a horrible start, losing exclusives to Xbox 360, overpriced, tremendous competition from Wii and360, etc. and somehow rose up against all odds.
--Wii-- came back from the Gamecube's third place position, lack of hardware power, unusual new control scheme, poor third party support, and lack of features. Somehow, it rose up against all odds.
--Xbox 360--came into a market dominated by Sony, was considered a "Dreamcast", faced a more powerful console, didn't have Blu Ray, had the RRoD. Somehow, it rose up against all odds.
Like how Sony fans feel like everybody is against them, how Nintendo fans feel like they're being attacked by all sides, and how that one Xbox fan feels like the underdog, EVERYBODY likes to feel like they're the victim that's winning in the face of adversity. In this thread, Nintendo fans will choose 3DS and Sony fans will choose PS3. People are familiar with what their favorite company had to overcome and their vote will reflect it.
