The Wii won, plain and simple.

Who argued against that?

Nobody, but it's turning out to be pretty irrelevant because the Wii essentially lost its market relevance back in 2010.

I'm awaiting the inevitable "countdown until the PS3 passes the Wii" threads.

Even though I'm having a hard time seeing either the PS3 or the Xbox 360 selling more than 20m additional hardware units this late in the generation, that's not to say that it couldn't happen depending on how long either stays on the market and which ends production when. My guess, not prediction, is that the Wii will likely end production first. 

And while it's not impossible (maybe highly improbable) for the Wii U to turn its fortunes around, particularly with the impending release of the PS4 and XBI, its reception by both consumers and developers have so far shown that Nintendo didn't really win a damn thing by moving far more 7th gen hardware than either MS or SCE.
