 It did pass me by that the Wii brand name is getting as big as PlayStation's too. 

overall i still think the playstation brand name is #1, with wii in a close second, i would then put nintendo third, xbox next, and then so and so on.

thanks to everyone for getting their opinion and comments out there, mature or immature, doesn't matter.

and to the people who didnt troll and act stupid, thanks!

 

The problem is, that you basd all of your opinion on sales, that is misleading, because while technically the Wii is only "presumably going to be #1", it is the most popular brand at the moment, and that is the only thing that matters, not the number of won generations or sold consoles in the past. 

People are easily manipulated. In the Atari era, everyone considered Atari THE game company. Now it is remembered as a failed brand. Later, everyone believed that the future of console gaming will be a series of NES versions, to rule gaming. In the PS2 era, I even read an article about the technology of future that referred to the future as "around the PS5 era" or we will have virtual reality in the ps8 era". It was that obvious that PS will rule forever. 

Now, most people are convinced that Nintendo will make a "Wii 2" for the casuals, and the PS4 will have holo-discs and it will be expensive. 

 

So, I think, there is no other brand recognition, than CURRENT brand recognition. Everything else is gone, forgotten.

I agree with Dexter.
