That's because competition has gotten tougher for both Nintendo and Sony. During the NES run, Nintendo was a juggernaut, no console, no matter how advanced could phase them. Then they released the N64, which was difficult to develop on, and had these ridiculous cartridges, when optical disc and DVD was starting to come out. Sony come out with a high end console that was easy to develop for and used discs, cheap to manufacture and so much better than cartridges.

For Sony, they made a launch mistake. The PS2 had so much dominance, they didn't think they'd lose their audience. However, Microsoft beat them to the market a year in advance, made a device that was the premium online console and incredibly easy to develop on. Sony however, made an extremely expensive console, that was difficult to develop for, and unlike with the PS1 with discs, Blu-Ray wasn't sufficiently developed to make the costs outweight the benefits. Of course it worked out in the long run but the failure of the PS3 launch was a massive blow to Sony's prestige. They also had the Wii to deal with, which stole the under-14 crowd.

This generation, it's different. The WiiU isn't taking a chunk out of Sony or Microsoft, neither manufacturer is using technology that is "too advanced" to be a turnoff, and both have sizable install bases. I can't imagine a scenario where Microsoft does not have a successful generation, from day one till the next console is released.
