Lock if someone already made a thread about this.
I was just looking at the platform totals of VGC, and it made me realize of something; ever since Sony entered the bussiness, they took the crown from Nintendo, progressively beating them with the PS1 against the N64, then again with the Ps2 against the Gamecube; but yet, there's the Wii, which single-handely won and it sits on top of the seventh gen, with a minimal chance of Ps3 ever surpassing it with its legs.
Thing is, will this situation ever happen again? Can Nintendo make a console that beats its competitors in brute sales? Or they will be forever condemned to second/third position? Playstation 4 is on the verge of surpassing Gamecube, so it kinda makes one wonder, do they have a chance admist Sony's positive feedback with its users? Is there any chance for Nintendo ever pulling a Nes/Wii situation again?
We're talking about home consoles, though; not handhelds.
