Wii will always be considering the most successful console of this generation no matter what PS3/360 do I think.

Taking 12 years or something to outsell the Wii is just kinda gravy. It would be like if Nintendo supported the N64 for 12-15 years and sold them for $40 a pop just to eventually overtake PS1 sales ... no one would care.

I'm no big fan of the direction Nintendo took with the Wii, but you really honestly have to be one salty mofo to deny its success.

It's most likely the most profitable game console ever made and we likely will never see a game platform sell as fast as it did ever again.

The $5+ billion in profit Nintendo was pulling in at the height of the Wii era in one year is more than Sony + Microsoft have made in profit from gaming combined since Sony entered the game business in 1994.
