GCN was overpowered in comparison to the sixth generation winner. And Wii was underpowered in comparison to the seventh generation losers.

The Wii won because it was deemed the best and most wanted console by consumers. If Wii was a fad, it's a fad that lasted about 4 and a half years. That's pretty impressive. The Wii should be congratulated -- not chastised -- for introducing the world of video games to more people than ever before.

The next consoles from Sony and Microsoft WILL be more powerful than Wii U, but that's why the original article takes no amount of courage or insight, as I said. The question is: will that power come at too great a cost, and will that power tip the market in favor of Sony or Microsoft. The original article doesn't do much to unpack those questions.

So the console that sold 100 million introduced more people to gaming than ever before than the handhelds and homes consoles that have sold over 100 million?  Go figure.

Dude, why so sarcastic? Come on, it's pretty clear what I meant by that.
