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.

Not really. The wii would have never sold that well if sony didn't fumble the PS3. Nintendo didn't come close to beating the PS1, PS2 or PS4 when sony was on point. Nintendo happened to be there with a cheap console that was marketed towards casuals that took advantage of the gap in competition.

The Wii had many reasons for success and subsequent drop off.  Sony had absolutely nothing at all whatsoever to do with it in any capacity.
