I was surfing and found the following article... fascinating.

A recent report from market research firm NPD Group found, for example, that only half of next-gen console owners are aware that the PS3 is HD-capable, and just 30 percent knew the 360 can do HD, as well.
Furthermore, only 40 percent of PS3 owners know that their console has a built-in Blu-ray high-definition movie player, and only half of those people had recently watched a Blu-ray movie on their consoles.
What's more, while 71 percent of PS3 owners and likely buyers say backward compatibility (the ability to play PS2 games on the PS3) is the most important feature the console could have, only 37 percent are aware that the PS3 actually is backward-compatible.
In other words, a lot of people don't even know their system has the feature they most want.
Crazy. This is why the general public isn't swooning over 360 and PS3 for the price. They just don't care about HD, Blu-Ray, Online, etc. Core gamers are only a small percentage of the total market, Nintendo capitalized on that, Sony and MS didn't. They went for technology that the average consumer really doesn't care about (the vast majority of HDTVs are used to watch SD programming).
While many PS360 owners don't even know their console is HD capable (one of the 'primary' features), I'm sure every Wii owner knows the Wii is Motion Control Capable.
This round goes to Nintendo.
