Given that the NES pretty much brought console gaming back from a crash and the population was ~70% what is it now, I hardly consider this an accomplishment.

So you're saying the PS3 is a flop?
The Xbox 360 is only about 3million ahead, so you calling that a flop as well?

You have to remember that there are 3 competing platforms this generation. The 3rd place console outselling the NES is a huge accomplishment. Usually the 3rd place and second place consoles are complete flops compared to the first place console.(See: N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube and Xbox)

This gen, we can easily say that all consoles were successful. None of them were flops. They all had a great library of games. Let's celebrate.
