People have branched out, thats why Nintendo consoles sell less each gen and Playstation and Xbox sell more.

Let's pretend that Wii/DS era didn't exist.

On topic, I liked the PS brand in the PSOne/PS2 era, in fact they were one of my favourite consoles ever. But since PS3 era I've never felt the need to buy any Sony console because I can play 95% of PS3/PS4 catalogue in my PC, and the exclusives are not my cup of tea. Only games I regret I can't play right now are Bloodborne and TLOU, but they are not enough to justify the purchase of the console. I feel consoles are now like cheap PCs, with some ocassionally exclusives.

Lets pretend that this isnt videogame factual history:

NES: 61.91

SNES: 49.10

N64: 32.93

GC: 21.74

Wii: 101.17 (anomaly)

WiiU: 9.96 (already announced a suscesor)

----------------------------

Xbox: 24.65

Xbox 360: 84.9

Xbox One: 13.07 (outsold X360 in the same timeframe)

----------------------------

PS1: 104.25

PS2: 157.68

PS3: 85.77

PS4: 23.75 (outsold previous consoles in same timeframe)

It would be factual if you said that they sold less each gen EXCEPT for Wii/DS. That's not what I would call people branching out XDDD. I don't see what's "factual" about that statement, but hey. It isn't true that Sony consoles sell more each gen, PS3 sold less than PS2 and we don't know yet about PS4. So that's an anomaly too? What I'm trying to say is we have absolutely no idea if Nintendo could repeat that sucess again, and we don't know it MS or Sony will mantain their fandom, so let's wait. Gaming world change a lot, we actually know that.
