Then why didn't Sony and MS abandon hardware and join Nintendo on Wii and DS?  Your logic dictates they should.

 


Because the Wii is a piece of junk. It is a gimmick that sold like hotcakes to casual gamers and non gamers. Real gamers bought PS3 and 360 and are still buying them today. Where's the Wii now? Name 1 good Wii game that wasn't made by Nintendo.

Muramasa the Demon Blade, Madworld, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Zack and Wiki, Red Steel 2, Boom Blox, No More Heroes (1 and 2), House of the Dead, The Conduit, Epic Mickey, Monster Hunter Tri, Sonic Colors, and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom are pretty darn good. Not to mention ports like Fatal Frame 2, Resident Evil 4, and Okami. Or the games that were developed outside of EAD and only published by Nintendo like Xenoblade Chronicles, Fatal Frame 4, and Sin and Punishment 2.

 


I wouldn't buy any of those games nor would I consider them "Quality". Yes that's my preference and it's subjective but could any of those games be considered a sales success? The ports were pathetic. No comparison to PS360. Most of the Wii games were complete TRASH. The Wii became a dumpster for any and all garbage because there was a potential audience of 100 million and many of them were looking for new games to play once the novelty of Wii Sports wore off. 

The Wii was really never in the same league as their competition.  It was a new toy with a new gimmick and it sold like hotcakes. A low technology money grab. Hell, I have one sitting on the shelf right now but it hasen't been turned on in years.
