I feel like the PS3 lost, and before some Sony fanboys start screaming at me about the PS3 passing the 360 in sales, let me say this: The PS3 is behind both the PS1 and PS2 in both total sales and marketshare. Meanwhile, the 360 came in and increased marketshare over the original Xbox by a considerable margin, and became a strong contender for 2nd place in hardware (and still holds 2nd place in software).
That being said, if you think about it, all 3 are losers, since the Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3 all lost money this generation. Who cares about who sells the most hardware or software if you lost Billions of dollars over the course of the generation?

I'm pretty sure the Wii was insanely profitable.

I recently heard that Nintendo lost money on the Wii, but maybe that was inaccurate. Regardless, Sony and Microsoft definitely lost money on the PS3 and 360, so you could say that they're both losers.

"I recently heard" is a really trustworthy source most of the time.
Not in this case however. Wii is probably the most profitable console ever released (for Nintendo, not necessarily for third parties).
