Exactly GR.
In case you hadn't noticed, Sony and Microsoft don't depend on their consoles. If the X-Box and PS2 wre to somehow tragically bomb and not be able to come back, Microsoft nor Sony would be hurting that much. Microsoft is one of the richest companies in the world, and Sony's pretty high up there too. They've got money to burn. Nintendo, on the other hand, has only it's consoles. If they fail, Nintendo fails. If Nintendo spends money on somethig frivolous and it doesn't return, thats a big hit to their coffers. So before you fault Nintendo for not taking risks, I'm sure they'd love to borrow a couple billion dollars off of you to give it a try.
