!!! Backwards compatibility !!!
My NES still works, but not sure for how long...
Like bikr said, they appeal to a different market. I think Nintendo does a very good job appealing to the 'casual' gamer (or the less experienced), and those who want to play with friends in the same room. I must say, I find Mario Golf and Mario Kart DD much more entertaining with a few friends than playing Links 2004 or NFS UG on the XBox. *shrug*
Seriously, though: how many ppl (besides me) only buy one console per generation?
