Doesn't matter the metric, winner is still a single entity.

You see a race in the olympic, the one that finished first the 100m is the winner even if the 3rd place have made more money through sponsorship.

So yes Wii sold more on its gen, the reason a big portion don't consider it a winner is because they weren't competing with PS3 and X360 by admission of Nintendo and Sony themselves.

The flaw with your olympic analogy is Wii was first in sales and made the biggest profit.

Pretty sure PS3 lost money for Sony and 360 had the RROD problems.

Wii wasnt a direct competitor per se, but it certainly took potential sales from 360 and PS3. Especially in the casual market which was pretty significant at the time.

Isn't flawed.

Would be like saying Sony/MS were competing on the 100m and Wii on the 400m. Wii winning and making the best mark ever on their event doesn't affect the fact of the dispute of Sony/MS.

But yes Wii was the most successful among the consoles and DS the most successful HW of the gen.

Having the most powerful specs is not synonymous with only graphics matter.

Its notable when you consider Playstation and Xbox will share most of the same library though. There will be boasting about which platforms play the same game best.

Sony fans loved those debates before X1X. Then suddenly specs didnt really matter anymore.

If the graphics isn't better the most powerful specs would be useless.
