Realized the writer was a fanboy here:

"Forgetting about Nintendo (who hasn't)"

Promptly stopped reading.

What?  It's a spot on statement to make.  You have to eliminate Nintendo from the argument of sales when it comes to 360 and PS3, otherwise the Wii is always the elephant in the room that says, "it doesn't matter how well the also-rans will do....Nintendo has this generation in the bag."

That isn't a fanboy sentiment...but just the sentiment of one who understands the numbers of this generation.

 

 

Because THIS IS THE TRUTH!

 

Simply ignoring the success of the Wii, because the close race of the two losers is so much more awesome, that is called denial. 

 

Well, apparently you don't understand what everyone is saying then. I'll simplify...

I claim to be better at basketball than my friend, because I can usually beat him 1 on 1. And someone else wanders onto the court and says "If doesn't matter! Kobe can beat you both!"


That's not the discussion. Yes, Kobe could destroy either of us... or both of us at once... So he doesn't even enter the discussion, it's a foregone conclusion. Same for the Wii. Yes, Wii wins. We know that. It's not denial. Denial would be to mention the Wii as a "possible winner." Not mentioning the Wii is ackowledging that it's on a different level.
