Ps3 is a great Console with a great library of games. Great Consoles sell Great so this is why Ps3 is giving fight in the USA, but ofc if MS drops the price of 360 to 129.99$ sales will be way ahead once again and 360 could have its best holiday ever.

Wii other hand has no games, no support and its a console of casual people... its died and Wii U wont have this sucess ever... Nintendo was lucky but that happens 1 time in life.

It wasn't "luck". It was just a good strategy that only worked short-term. 

It wasn't a short term strategy, it was a strategy that Nintendo tactically abandoned.

See, Wii sales are still rather good during the holiday. Huge, in fact. They make a lot on every console.

They simply stopped putting games on it, why? Because people will continue to buy the old ones, this propels their sales per game to a very efficient and healthy number, and makes their games look better, creating hype. Business wise, it makes more sense to make one game in 7 years that sells 10 m, than to make 2 that sell 12m combined.
