And the sony guys on here thought that the PS3 would overtake the Wii. Funny that those proclamations are not made anymore. :)

Some people still believe it will...

Well, I was one of them and I still thinking the same. PS3 shipments will finish FY2014 (March 2015) around 90m. Why PS3 can't sell 10-15 more in 3-4 more years???

Wii stopped shipments, so if Sony decide some time in the near future to sell PS3 under 200 $/€ i'm confident PS3 can sell 3-4 mill per year on average until 2018, surpassing the Wii.

If I don't talk more about this, is because right now, there aren't any reasons to bring back the subject again. We just need patience.

A couple with what you said....

The Wii stopped shipiments in Japan. Its still selling in NA and Europe.

Also you realize that for the PS3 to last 3-4 years that would give it a longer life then the PS2? That's really not going to happen. The sales dropped off massively since the PS4 launched its only doing 40k a week now and this time last year it was probably 150k a week even in May.

Also its not winning if you need 6 extra years just to match or just barly beat the Wii. The generation is already over anyway.

First. Wii ALMOST stopped shipments, it barely sells since 2014 started.

Second. If PS3 lasts 3-4 more years until 2017-2018 that would be 11-12 years since 2006, the same as PS2 (2000-2012). 

Third. I never said this will mean "PS3 won the generation", just the fact that it will overtake Wii. PS2 sold around 50m after PS3 launched. PS3 doesn't need to sell at the same rate to reach 100-105 million.

But if you want to know my opinion....If console A still sells after console B disappeared, it's a problem for console B. If console A ends selling more, that's a fact. You can consider whatever you want then. To me, the one who sold most lifetime, wins the "sales war" argument. To me, PS3 won the "games war" argument anyway years ago.....
