Wii won, games(IMO) and sales wise(not debatable).

I agree with the sales, not even close in games imo. But it sure is funny to see certain posters to go in full defense or attack mode over an artivle, really sad axtually.

Opinions are opinions, thankfully not everyone thinks the same. At least this thread is more civilized than some I've been seeing around this forum.

So, billions of USD loss and less market share don't count.

Less market share?? One gen does not carry over to the next... Head to head, 14 months less on mmarlet PS3 outsold 360, that's fact. Proof Ps3 lost billions?? Keep in mind, sony is a big company, with many divisions./

I was talking about the Wii. -.-
And check the financial reportsm especially the Playstation division.

Or ask former Sony CEO Stringer:

You have spent three billion dollars on the Playstation 3, disregarding research and development. Can you ever get your money back?

Stringer: Not for as long as I live (laughs).

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

In the US it was 360 + Wii. Call of Duty and Wii Sports >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Uncharted in terms of industry/culutral impact. And yes I know CoD is on the PS3 as well, but it's highly synonymous with the XBox brand.

wii couldnt even last the whole generation before nintendo took it out its misery and discontinued it so i dont see how thats anywhere near being a winner. they cant take all the sales during their good times and then call the end of the generation when they slump, thats what losers do.

LOL That makes it look better, cuz if it were supported then it probably be up there with ps2. Anyway with your logic you can say the opposite in software, Wii is dead but most of its games still sell to this day.

Nintendo made so much money so it is a clear winner. Sony+M$ is lucky it slumped then

If its about who made the most money, I completely agree with you, nintendo killed sony and MS who bled money all gen, sony on their hardware and MS in securing 3rd party exclusives which they could have just spent forming their own studios and IP's which they could maintain as their property.

Sony learnt their lesson, they wont be a year late, their not designing their own processor and they are not priced at $599. Next gen should be a walk in the park for them.

Last gen is last gen, now the important thing is how everything is shaping up next gen. For now, Wii U is nowhere near Wii success and ps4 is already ahead in preorders considering the availability between One and ps4. So sony have every momentum going forward next gen.
