The important thing to remember at this point is that launch titles for systems usually live off of one title for a while, while developers settle into the newness of a new generation of game making. The Wii will be living off of Zelda, and other games with a traditional feel (Monkey Ball, Red Steel (See Goldeneye) for a few months at least. I don't even remember the launch titles at 360's launch. It was, what, Perfect Dark Zero, and..... yeah, Table Tennis? Whatever. PS3 will have Genji 2, a new Ridge Racer game, and some other bull honkey that will be forgotten about come FFXIII, and all the other big name titles that are coming.
As far as innovation goes, i don't think it's a matter of one beating out the other.
Lets use movies as our example. We have the unimaginitive stupid comedies like White Chicks, Little Man, Big Momma's House (2) (sorry if anybody here really loves those movies), and movies like Capote, Good Night and Good Luck, 12 Monkeys on the other side of the spectrum, the movies you don't hear about so much, but are still wildly successful in the circles of people who follow them. There are different markets for different things. There are people out there who are looking for the lowbrow stupid humour, and some people who are out for the thought provoking, well thought out writing etc...
Of course there are deviations from the trends, in that some people will see movies of a different side of the spectrum every now and then, and that's where the 2 console mentality comes in.
For a question like this, the number one thing to remember is different tastes, and preferences. I personally don't think that one console is ever going to win over the other, because each company is going to do their best to keep their portion of the market immersed in what they have to offer, no matter how much the other consoles try to cash in on it.
Am i making any sense?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
