Just out of curiosity. ..what made you come to that conclusion?  That the Nintendo  Brand is much stronger? Are you basing this just on the NES?

30 year old retro-game console outselling a brand new console despite only a small difference in price. That and all of Nintendo's games that constantly outsell Sony's games. 

Sony is always welcome to make a similar plug and play console with the PS1 or PS2, but I doubt it would sell as well as the NES (especially at the same price point). 

Well one the PS4 is not brand new. Two there was VERY limited stock of the NES so whenever it gets restocked it makes sense that it will shoot up the charts. Three it has to actually  outsell the PS4 not just be higher than the PS4 on Amazon which I am almost certain it never do because Nin wouod never make that many NES systems. So no that does not mean Nin as a brand is stronger than Sony...especially  not right now.

Now as far as the games argument goes you are correct  most Nin games sell better than almost all Sony Exclusives...but then you have to remember Nin systems are primarily  bought only for Nin games(which you can see by sales and 3rd party support) while both Sony and MS are bought for their games plus 3rd party games. So Sony and MS gamers have more options in games which spreads  their sales out more while Nin does not have that luxury....all in my opinion of course.
