Yeah. No. Wii won. Because it sold 20 million more systems. Or at least Wii's still winning, even if it scored most of its goals in the first half. Game isn't technically over, but we're definitely at the end of the fourth quarter and I can't imagine much is going to change. Okay, sports analogy over.

Even if PS3 does eventually pass up Wii (which I find unlikely) it will do so only by virtue of Sony's continuing to keep the thing on the market after the generation was over, and at a price that's far below what they were originally trying to sell it for. Wii's early success - when at its most expensive, thus maximizing Nintendo's profits - ensures its victory. 

PS3 gets the silver medal, but not the gold.

Isn't that how the PS2 got to 150M units sold?
