I don't know how anyone can determine if anyone actually "won", but you can make cases for each.


The Wii? Sold amazing up until 2010 or so, then it has been a non-factor and carried no momentum into their next launch. Even began discontinuing production while the other (2) consoles are still going. Due to those amazing 3-4 years it currently remains the leader in overall sales. Lasted ~7 years.

The PS3? It started off terrible, lost billions and took forever to catch up. By the time it's follow up console launched it was still selling 100k+ per week and carrying strong momentum into the launch of it's follow up console. Lasted 7 years and still going strong.

The XBox360? Started off well, then ran into very bad hardware issues like the RRoD, thus losing billions of dollars. By the time it's follow up console launched it was still ~100k per week and carrying strong momentum into the launch of it's follow up console. Lasted 8 years and still going strong.




In my opinion, in terms of games and staying power, I would easily give the nod to either the PS3 or the 360. This opinion becomes stronger the further out these (2) consoles go.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
