A bit late? They're a year late.

I'd say they're about three two years late.  In terms of their gaming dominance, the sound of Sony's death knell was "599 US dollars", and that sound was heard in E3 2005 2006.

EDIT: Thanks, celine.

E3 2006. ( the same E3 where there were long lines to play Wii and WiiSports ).

SONY has not lost it's crown.

The have sold like what, 250 million Playstation products world wide. That is alot in 3 generations.

They have titles that appeal to alot of people. Nintendo doesn't.

Taken from Nintendo site:

The worldwide innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its Wii™, Nintendo DS™, Game Boy® Advance and Nintendo GameCube™ systems. Since 1983, Nintendo has sold nearly 2.4 billion video games and more than 420 million hardware units globally, and has created industry icons like Mario™, Donkey Kong®, Metroid®, Zelda™ and Pokémon®.

The 250m figure is not even correct.
