No I agree that the Wii won. But that doesn't mean Nintendo won. They lost loyal customers, and devalued their home console by going for something cheap. There is no way the Wii increased the strength of the Nintendo brand because the Wii U isn't selling. I'm just saying it isn't 100% clear which strategy you would pick, that can only be seen in the long term.

Going by that logic, the PS2 decreased the strength of the PlayStation brand, because the PS3 wasn't selling and could only be brought back by incurring losses in the billion range.

Well with PlayStation the PS2 was still selling well when the PS3 came out so the brand was still going strong. It is simple to see the changes from one generation to the next with Nintendo, but Sony sells two consoles at once so the strength of their brand at any point is a combination.
