Unreliable hardware? That's the first time I've heard that.
As for your other concerns, I'm not sure how their existence has any affect on your experience. You still get the games you enjoy, correct? I may not enjoy MMOs but as they don't affect my enjoyment, I don't really care if they exist. And if they suddenly stopped existing, I wouldn't be happy or anything as it wouldn't have any affect on myself.
Can you explain?
What's your definition of "hardcore" gaming? (Everyone has their own interpretation)

Not as reliable as Nintendo, anyway.
Also, I don't see why you didn't ask me this in the first place instead of getting me to list examples, :P.
It's ridiculous to say that Sony's presence isn't affecting my experience at all, though. It is, in a number of ways. For one, Sony doing this stuff may push Nintendo to follow similar strategies, which means that Nintendo might not offer the kind of stuff I like. Also, as long as Sony is a dominant force in the industry, third parties will be more inclined to make the kinds of games that I don't like and will focus their efforts away from Nintendo consoles, both of which negatively impact me. Plus, competition drives Nintendo to do much worse, in my experience, so Sony's presence is just distracting Nintendo from entertaining me. There's about a million other reasons why.
As for "hardcore" gaming, I'd say that means just about any game that is themed around blood and/or death. Just my interpretation, of course.
