considering the PS3 had a weak library at times and the PS2 was underpowered- historically Playstation hasn't really always been at the top

  obviously they have the most power this generation and are the go-to system, but I find it strange that based one system you say that

  also in terms of some people making comments about Nintendo consoles selling less in different recent generations- that may be true but it would be naive to ignore the huge emphasis that the company puts into their handheld division. when you're selling 50-100 million handhelds each generation it obviously isn't going to be as easy to focus on their main console as it would be for Sony or Microsoft. I think that plays a big part. there's the Vita but let's be honest, Sony isn't producing a ton of their own IP's for it

Microsoft doesn't even operate in the handheld gaming market. Just emphasizing the fact that when you spread your resources across two different systems EACH generation, naturally maybe one will suffer or be less broadly attractive. in the case of recent years it's clear that in a way (deliberately or accidentally) Nintendo has prioritized their handheld over their home console

as soon as they integrate the two together or adjust their focus I think the Nintendo brand will flourish more and be more appreciated in terms of more variety popping up (although there still is plenty!)
