I find it quite interesting that last gen Sony, Nintendo, and MS all had a very similar number of games that scored 90+:
Nintendo:
SMG1
SMG2
LoZ:TP
LoZ:SS
SSBB
Xenoblade
Metroid Prime 3
Sony:
Uncharted 2
The Last of Us
LittleBigPlanet
God of War 3
LittleBigPlanet 2
Uncharted 3
Killzone 2
MLB 10
Microsoft:
Gear
Halo 3
Gears 2
Forza 3
Halo Reach
Gears 3
Forza 4
The big difference was in their 80+ games where Sony lead by a huge margin with 27 games, while MS was second with 15, and Nintendo had 11 games. Which is why I usually can't help but laugh when someone says Nintendo has the best first party games...
Not to mention out of the top ten highest rated IPs last gen 6 were multiplatform games (though not available on a Nintendo console), 3 were Sony first party, and 1 was nintendo first party, while MS failed to secure a spot on the list. Once you look at these facts it becomes quite clear why PS4 is selling so well, they really won gamers on their side throughout the last generation.

But aren't you missing DS/PSP games^ Especially Nintendo splits their resources between the two, take that in mind as well :)

Sory, I don't play handheld games, so it slips my mind that they even exist at times. But I personally don't think they should be lumped together with console games, they have completely different scale and expectations.
But if it makes you happy then I guess you can apply that logic to 3DS which is selling very well cause Nintendo had a lot of good games on DS, while VITA is tanking cause Sony didn't support PSP well enough.
But usually I only talk about console gaming here cause that's all I play barring the occasional bathesda game that I play on PC with mods. I don't play any handheld or mobile games and don't follow that market, and it certainly doesn't belong in the same conversation. So I can see how Nintendo might be great for someone who likes mobile gaming, but for a console gamer they might as well not exist.
