What Sony doesn't know about is self restraint. The PS3 is just waaay too expensive for a friggin video game system. So what if it plays Blu-ray? People still use VHS... HD isn't a necessity yet. Yeah, it's got killer graphics, more storage for game discs, free online play, does your laundry... it's just way to expensive.
Now Nintendo is smart. Yeah, the graphics aren't as good as the other systems... but the Wii is a lot of fun. If you think it is just a "party favor" then you haven't played the right games. The Wii's got some pretty good titles. COD3 was fun as was Medal of Honor. Blazing Angels is fun if you like flight-sim type games. Resident Evil's fun, and graphically not too shabby. I just recently started playing The Bigs, which is a baseball game that's pretty fun. Transformers isn't the best game, but it's fun to destroy stuff in the game sometimes.
Thing is, Nintendo made a fun, affordable system when other company's are wanting you to shell out $300+. It's a system that appeals to older people, as well children. Wii Sports does get old... but once you add alcohol to the equation, well, you've got yourself a brand new game.
