If end of gen Wii has sold the most, then yes it is the best. Buying a Wii = 1 vote. Buying a PS3 = 1 vote. Pretty simple really.

OT, GTA:SA is still by far the highest selling 3rd party console game.

 Since when has mass popularity been a sign of superiority? The highest selling movies and music tend to cater towards the lowest common denominator. The most popular television shows tend to do the same thing. Why would videogames be any different?

 Popularity is in no way an accurate indicator of quality. The highest selling console could just as easily be one of the worst as it could be one of the best. In terms of the quality of its game library it is unlikely that the Wii will even approach the quality of SNES let alone be considered the best console ever.

Quality is subjective. The easiest definition of the best console is the one that the most people want to own and play. I think Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft would ALL agree with that definition.

More often then not, things that are "mainstream" are superior.

"The highest selling console could just as easily be one of the worst as it could be one of the best."

I disagree. Selling tens of millions of consoles is not a fluke or a fad.

You've essentially said that the Wii caters to the lowest common denominator. Ouch. A bit elitist don't you think?
