I Disagree. Tom Kalinske has said that the key to success is based on the idea that to win, you must either do what the other guy isn't doing or is unwilling to do. Nintendo won that generation because they tapped into a consumer market that Sony didn't have the foresight to see. They outwitted them and did what they weren't doing. By the time Sony made the PS Move, it was too late. Far too late. 

Nintendo won because their guys were smarter than Sony's guys.

Nintendo being “smarter than Sony” last gen was only part of the bottom line. Sony’s own mistakes were the biggest reason they got beaten to the degree that they did. 

Is making such colossal mistakes not a sign of being less "smart" than the competition? Furthermore, could not almost every generation-losing system have been said to have suffered primarily from their own mistakes? In addition to PS3, it can be said of N64, Saturn, Gamecube, Vita, Wii U...
