Again, Microsoft and Sony fans trying to one up one another when in the end they both lose. Nobody cares about 2nd, especially when the gap will be as big as the Wii vs. PS3/360, 2nd only matters psychologically because it's ever so slightly better than 3rd but still has no importance.

Xbox finished second last gen but nobody cares. The only thing remembered is the PS2, the rest is nothing, just like this gen when the Wii is remembered and the 360/PS3 are forgotten about when all is said and done.

So yeah, I find this PS3/360 battle to be quite amusing and just like last gen with the GC and Xbox, quite irrelevant.

 In the last generation all the systems were similar in what they were trying to offer.  The Wii is not the same type of system as the PS3 or 360 so there is a lot of overlap.  In this generation, the Wii an undisputed success, but it is irrelevant when you are talking about the console war.  There are many people who own Wiis that probably never owned PS2s or other consoles and many that also own one of the HD consoles.  The Wii will certainly be remembered as revolutionary, but since there are types of games that it is not suited for, there is a large market for something else.  This is why no one calls it the Wii/PS3/360 console war.  Instead it is just the PS3/360 that are mentioned.

Is that so? The Wii is not affecting the console war? What is happening here is that the PS3 and 360 are fighting for a useless market because now that they know what people want as soon as the next generation begins both of them are going to try to get in the same market as Nintendo so a step back will be taking place. This is basically like the IPod, everyone wants one but there's other companies making mp3 players too  in hopes of grabbing some of that market.
