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?

Cool. Aren't you seeing just what a destructive strategy that was? It was fun while it lasted, but proved to be their downfall. On the other hand, Sony is making millions off of games they haven't spent a single penny on and will dominate no matter what games they make. Isn't that better business? Sony made a platform that allows them not to make any games and rake in profits (Vita is the best proof it's actually posible), so they don't need to sell millions of their own games. Also, don't forget that the VGC numbers are one thing, but Sony was also earning massive money from their online store - something we couldn't say about Nintendo.

Look at their latest financial reports, Sony is making pennies from the PS4 compared to Nintendo during the GC and Wii era.
Lol if you think Vita makes any sort of meaningfull profit for Sony.
Do you even know how much profit games like Wii Sports Resort, Mario Kart Wii, MK DS, NSMB, Wii Fit and NSMBW made? Sony would need third parties to sell 3 billion of their games to match that.
Sony was never earning massive money last gen, PS division or entire company. They lost money, year after year.
