It's funny because xbox has never been the market leader period and it seems you are forgetting Sony wasn't the market leader for over 8 years until this year and every nintendo home console turned a profit Sony and Microsoft no.....lost billions also it's funny how a lot of people wanna say it was a fad no it wasn't 100,000,000 consoles is no fad ....it was called innovation motion controlled games something that wasn't done well until nintendo perfected it .....

Ahem! 80 million consoles thank you. Nintendo was probably going to sell 20 million Wii's without the fad factor. A one generation wonder is the very definition of a fad. The fact that motion controls are now passe is also the definition of a fad. 4 years of amazing sales in the context of console history is a fad. When the history of gaming consoles is written in 20 years fad is the word the historians will use to describe the Wii phenomenon. When you can't carry over your install based to the next generation your success the previous generation is a fad. The fact that Wii tailed off terribly long before Wii U launched means it was a fad. The fact that PS3 and 360 both outsold Wii in 2011 and 2012 means it was a fad.

Lol a fad is something that is hot for a moment and fades ...100,000,000 people is not a fad sorry any way you cut iton spin it so with your so called definition of fad I can call the ps2 a fad with the DVD player because Sony lost almost have there fan base from ps2 to ps3 (154,000,000 to "80,000,000) lol and you are wearing that ps3 and xbox360 outsold wii for 2 years like its a badge of honor what about the first 6 years lol and everyone knows nintendo stop supporting the wii in the last year in a half lol all consoles fade off the last couple of years lol nothing new or different for any console

Which is exactly what happened to the Wii as seen by the last couple years and how the Wii U is selling. I dont care what anyone tells you, 4 million consoles sold in the first full year is not an achievement

You are forgetting this is not a sprint and but a race nobody knows how this generation is gonna play out so if playstation 4 does not sell more than the playstation3 that would be three straight generations off the playstation brand declining ..will I be be able to say its a trend and that the playstaion brand is fading lol..people forget that each generation is different and that sometimes you win sometimes you don't lol it's as simple as that ...people forget nintendo has won 3 out of seven generations and has beat "every" console it's been against at least once(Atari,sega,Sony,xbox,Neo geo ,colecovison etc )that's a huge feat ...
