By win, do you mean sell more? |
Yes.

I don't consider who ever finished with more units during a gen the automatic "winner." I consider what happened while said gen was active. For instance, the SNES did not pass the Genesis until the Sega had created new hardware. So, basically, the Genesis won that generation. The Wii outsold the PS3 and Xbox 360 within the years of 2006-2012 which were the years that generation lasted. Once the Wii-U dropped, that generation was over and we were in a new one.

Well, consoles have different lifespawn, you can't blame any for having more or less time in the market as the others, if that wasn't the case the PS2 would be in the same class as the PS1 and the Wii with around 100M units moved in it's so called gen, but PS2 raised it's numbers to almost 160M within the next generation already going over... so well, if the PS3, by any chance, pass the Wii within some more years it will have sold more and it will be a fact, but people can say that in the same time Wii sold better than the PS3 too.

Think of it like an actual race. If you have three people racing eachother in a 100M race, and the winner crosses the 100M mark, he/she is the winner. Correct? In the console industry, that's how it works as well. The difference is, the other two (PS3 and Xbox 360) kept running for another 20M. That doesn't mean the Wii didn't win. It just means the other two kept running after the race was over.
The same can be applied to all generations. When the 360 launched, the 6th generation was affectively over.
