I remembered at the start of the gen no one thought the 360 would be anywhere close to PS3 and the Wii was written out completely. Most thought the PS3 would dominated while the other two would battle for scraps. Then something happened and the Wii took the world by storm with it's unique gameplay. Even the grannies were getting into it. The 360 dominated North America and UK and did much better in Europe and Japan compared to it's predecessor but never really caught on. PS3 was slow initially but once the prices dropped, it really took off in those territories but in NA, it never caught up to the 360. So the Wii really surprised everyone. The 360 did much much better than anyone predicted and the PS3 while gaining 2nd place was not where anyone expected it to be. It was their generation to win and the lowly Wii stole the trophy. Overall they all did very well.
