You guys seriosly think Sony can't look further enough in the business field to walk its way into an abyss and fall to PC gaming? they have been around for how long? the are one of the most powerful enterprises in the world, you think they get there being stupid?. Heck just look how they automatically started working on motion controls and touch imput as soon as they were considered interesting and promising by the market, at worst they will just flat out copy others and keep on.
Rght now I owe a PS3, but I don't stop supporting Nintendo and worrying for it. The characers and gaming experiences you get from nintendo games are something you can't get in other consoles and that ges way back before motion or touch controls. What you said is totally true, I also consider right now the only one doing it right is Nintendo. Just gaming isn't enough anymore and just better specs wont suffice when even cellphones got the power to run games like previous generation's. If you cannot find a new way to immerse players into games, that leadership the big 3 got right now will end up spreaded out through Apple, Samsung, HTC, etc.
But I also agree with this...
They have to realize that, although new ways of gaming are the future, they're not there yet. If your other ways of gaming are still not perfect now, then you can't pretend to just hold your product on that alone and sell it successfully. For that, other specs of the console should have been polished enough to make it stand out, like the OS, the game line-up, the hardware, etc., but none of that is shinning. They should also know that regular costumers can't help but compare products when there's no outstanding features that puts them apart, Nintendo was mistaken to think the pad alone was enough to accomplish that and because no game other than Zombi U has evidenced the capabilities of pad (and that one had polarized reviews) they are losing half of the market to a product that a year away from the release of theirs.
Nintendo might be a huge potency in the industry, but it is still a business set to make investments that generate profits. The charts have indeed been showing their performance not reaching the goals they have set for themselves. If this keeps going I'm sure voices will rise inside of it asking for new business model. I hope it doesn't change what we like of Nintendo right now.

If Nintendo wants their reputation to get back up, they'll need to bring the best of both worlds. Kind of like they did during the NES, SNES and to some extent the N64 era.
They do not need to beat Sony or Microsoft in specs, and would never be able to, but they need not be so far behind.
The level of innovation and the quality of the Nintendo brand games are not all that fantastic these days either.
