First of all, it's best to just enjoy consoles whether or not it's winning the war.
However, if you do want to judge who is winning the war - when people look back ten years from now - the standard metric will generally be how many total hardware units are sold. People don't care where companies were in the previous generation or how much their shareholders, executives, or janitors made. For instance with the SNES and Genesis, people will see the SNES as the victor without really considering money made or the fact that Nintendo lost market share. So you can spin it any way you like to help you sleep at night, but units sold will be the key metric here.
I do now think the PS3 has a good chance of passing the Wii since we will see a $199 price and a $149 price before it's discontinued. It all depends on how well the developing countries take the PS3 late in it's life cycle, but Sony has definitely built a reputation of supporting the console for the longest time.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
