So you are telling us that a console that has so far sold the least amount and has earned the least amount of money by far deserves it? And really this whole question sounds dumb to me.  I feel like a kid is asking this question and what deserves "king".

This is the king of sales, not money. A king can be poor just like a normal person. As to the other part of your question, I already answered that. It's selling by far the most now year after year, so it's the current king.

2 years is not year after year Pezus.  And sells includes profits.  Playstation lost the most this generation as far as market share goes.  They lost a ton of money for years.  Xbox and wii has drastically sold more from last generation and has made a ton of money.  As I said, no matter how you slice it Playstation has not done well this generation.  Sure they have some good games but it doesn't matter when everything they have done has failed because Im sure they was not happy losing 120 million consoles in marketshare.  

EDIT: in case you are wondering about that 120m part.  X360 has sold 50m more xboxs and Wii has sold 70m more wii's than last generation.  

Bold: Huh, yes it is. Sales do not include profits, no. Do you see profits in a bracket beside the numbers here each week? Nope. But keep bringing up excuses, the King will listen to them all and judge accordingly

Italics: That is a ridiculous thing to say. So Nintendo/Sega lost 110m in marketshare when Sony released the PS1?

I dont think theres anything wrong with citing gen over gen change. You going two gens back is kinda a bigger stretch.
