What if Wii actually ends up in 3rd place?

Passing the winner AFTER the finish line isn't winning.

Who defines the finish line like that? Isn't DS the highest selling console of all time then? Wii probably close to it as well. No, that's not how it works. When you look at wikipedia, vgchartz or whatever to look at sales numbers for old consoles you don't look at what they sold before their successor came out. You look at their total sales. 

Seriously. By Curl's logic, the Genesis beat the SNES since it was still beating it by a healthy margin when the Saturn kicked off the 5th gen.
