(A) Its from from the long-period growth perspective ("change in profit potential") that people say the Wii and PS3 are "doing badly", and the X360 is "doing well".
(B) Its from the marketshare, and hence eventual software marketshare (that's the implication anyway), perspective ("current profit potential") that the Wii is "doing well" and the PS3 and X360 are "doing poorly".
(C) Its from the raw customer revenue perspective ("consumer desirability") that the Wii is "doing well" and the PS3 and X360 are about in the same boat. In other words, customers appear to desire X360s and PS3s about the same, given their respective price points, whereas they desire a Wii moreso, from the price/value perspective.

(C) indicates future (A) trends, which, in turn, indicates (B) trends.

Things like pricecuts will affect (C) first, and then they will filter into the other perspectives over time.



So... everyone is in agreement, and you can all lay down the fanboy defense weapons. ;)
