I was going to say evil or something but I don't think people would take kindly to that. :0)
Ok this isn't console wars and I have no facts to back this up whatsoever but I remember reading about this a while ago so to put something game related and new in here I decided to post this. So no arguments and we can all play nice.
Here it is..
Ninty's are happy because the N64 created a happy happy world where most games are light and fluffy and involve you killing big lizard type creatures by swinging them around by their tails. So it's not reality so it's fun fun all the way.
Whereas the Playstation gave gamers a grip on reality (oo er) and mostly it's games stories, characters were more realistic and gritty. Games involved death, disease and all those other things that came out of Pandoras box and were generally more darker.
So there it is but I suppose it comes down to this, people who play more realistic dark, disturbing games arn't so happy compared to those who play in Nintendo's stereotypical world of sugar and spice and all things nice.

I had to throw one of those at a school sports day once. Went further than the shotput, but not as far as the javelin.

(What a camp hero.)
Camp heroes are cool.

I have a different view.
On the whole, Nintendo games are based as cute little worlds, where an evil collides with it, but it's not really THAT evil. And good saves the day.
In Playstation games, they do the same thing without being fluffy. It takes itself too seriously, and ends up going up it's own wrong side.
That's why I don't really like the majority of the class of games on the PS1. Take themselves too seriously, when they're really quite poorly made.
"I HAVE BIG SWORD, YOU KILL MY FAMILY, AND WILL NOW FACE YOUR DOOM."
Could easily be made better by:
"I have such a cool sword. I rule so much. You nicked my friend's glasses, you horrible, horrible man."
Doesn't appeal to everyone, but I find it far better. Serious doesn't mean fun.

Yes, it is easy to notice that Sony prefer the more realistic games, but are "Sonyphiles" as you call them really less happy?
I think that's a little bit streotypical. Gamers are happy when they've got the games and genres they like. It doesn't matter if it's cutesy, fluffy and bright. Gamers are happy when they have the games they like.
