Out of your list, I'm not including Sonic because that really wasn't a good game, the only game not made by Nintendo was Resident Evil 4. And that was just an upgrade from the Gamecube.
First off, Sonic and the Secret Rings was awesome to me. I should really qualify that statement by saying that I loved Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 as well though as I know a lot of people hated those games.

Anyways, talking of good games per system, I suppose you could have a look at this:



Shows how many millions of games sold per system at the top for January to June in 2006 and 2007, then console manufacturer share by percentages. It's a real shame it's by manufacturer and not console though.

Anyways, although theres a lot less PS3s sold in this country than Wiis, the average gamer is buying more games for their individual system. I'm sure Nintendo won't care at this stage as they're still selling more games and systems (and also don't forget Nintendo is the only one to make a profit per hardware unit sold) but if that trend were to continue when the Wii and PS3 sales start slowing down then it could spell trouble for Nintendo.

Anyways, random tangent this but 3 things:

1) Nintendos total sales share jump from 1% to 40% from this time last year

2) PC gaming is in no way being destroyed by piracy

3) The Nintendo DS outsells all next gen consoles in every region and spanks them in software sales too.

For me personally, the only game I've enjoyed on the PS3 that was exclusive so far was Motorstorm, I owned VF5 but that is going back to the shop quickly as the 360 version is based on a more balanced arcade revision and will be online
