Hmmmmm... so anything outside the ill defined "mainstream fanbase" is deemed outside of the gaming industry, and anything that is outside of your ill defined argument is ignored.  Consistent if nothing else.  *Shrug* 

Traditional Home Console market to be specific, but it would have been obvious that the omitted markets where irrelevant, had you more open expectations.

Surely, I could have specified the title as "PlayStation contributed to state of the traditional home console market in so far as the importance of third parties and broaded demographics are concerned, Xbox further solidified the importance of 3rd party developers and publishers as well as improved upon and made more widespread the online network capabilities and media functions of consoles popularized in the current generation, thus this is likely why the current generation of  consoles are performing thus far" but "PlayStation created the Industry, Xbox changed the playing field" is a lot more succint and catchy.

Call it succint and catchy if you want, but it doesn't define your argument clearly.  If your main point was supposed to be about Nintendo not being able to compete, don't you think that at the very least, Nintendo should be in the title somewhere?  Like I said, your title sets the expectation for readers, so that's what they're responding to.  Playstation created the industry is your argument, whether that's what you intended or not.
