I would just have to favor really fun gameplay instead of extremely good graphics (8 and 16 bit consoles were my bread-and-butter through childhood).

Yes, I guess the difference between Nintendo and the others is that Nintendo *is* a gaming company. I think that they usually try to find new ways to innovate the playability of games, digging the user experience into new levels of interactivity. I recently got a Nintendo DS, it is impressive what you can do with games that use the touch screen and the microphone (like Another Code, for example), or just the dual screen (like Sonic Rush). Compare this, for example, to the PSP, which is amazing and powerful, but still just a portable PS2 (with its too few real games)... Hello Casey!
