It's questionable. I disagree that we can consider PS3 a failure. It wasn't a runaway success, but it wasn't a tragedy in the end either. Plus it was an extremely valuable lesson, that they've taken to heart and it shows with PS4 - and that's priceless.
Nintendo didn't dominate last gen, not even close. 100 mil vs approx. 90 mil vs. approx. 85 mil and least sold software can't be considered domination by any strech. They won, but didn't dominate and the victory came at a huge price that they are paying right now. 3DS is the only Nintendo console that's dominating a Sony console - Sony messed up and gave up. DS was a decisive victory, but not a domination either.
PSX, PS2 were and PS4 is dominating the market.
All in all, these are the two great juggernaughts of the industry, but Sony is undeniably the dominant one ever since it entered the market.

Selling 70 million extra consoles isn't domination? Lol! I guess PS1 didn't dominate either then.
Oh and Nintendo sold by far the most software last-gen, they dominated. Nintendo is a software company foremost. Much higher profit margins on first party software than third party royalties.

DS sold less than double what PSP sold - wouldn't call that domination. An unquestionable victory, but not domination, PSP held its own. PSX sold over 3 times more than N64 and 12 times more than Saturn. That already is domination in my books. It was running circles around its competition, DS didn't do that.
Wii moved the least software. Truth/fact. That's one of the reasons what happened to Wii U happened, especially when considered that what sold almost exclusively carried the N logo.

Hence Nintendo dominated, lol.
If we had accurate sources of profits/losses made during that gen you'd see it for yourself. Has Sony ever even made a game that sold 30 million copies?
