It's a great selling console of it's own genre, a gaming console for everyone. Xbox and PS are more for real gamers, they have been racing between eachother for years now. Nintendo (Wii&DS) is like World of Warcraft: it's a game that is for the general public, anyone can play it because it's easy and addicting. But ask a gamer, a real one, if they like WoW and I can pretty much guarantee you that they say it sucks. I'm not saying WoW is bad on it's own, it's quite contrary one of the best selling games EVER, I'm just saying its more for the general public than the hardcore gaming community. SO, what I'm saying is that of course Nintendo is doing great because it's target audience is pretty much everyone. Sony and Microsoft are here for the real gamers who a more intense gaming experience. PS: Yes, Im aware Nintendo has released great games that apply to hardcore gamers too but it does not compare in quantity to what Sony and Microsoft have in their inventory Wii has never been in the race for consoles.

Making money in gaming is a long term business and since the PlayStation's launch 13 years ago Sony have sold something like 160 million more home consoles than Nintendo. IMO they aren't currently competing for the same market in terms of home consoles and if anything I think the Wii will benefit the PS3 in the long term because it's attracting a heck of a lot of previous non gamers to gaming.
