Considering the 7th generation over, one year after PS4 and XBOX ONE lauched, the Wii sold 100 M  of consoles , PS3 a little more than 80 and XBOX a little less than PS4. So , the winner of that gen is the Wii. It was a close race at the end, but 20 Millon is still a lot more consoles.  I wish I had the wii to play some high score exclusives, I only own a PS3 from that gen. 


That makes NEGATIVE sense. Have you ever heard a conversation like this:

Person #1 "Yano the PS2 won it's gen with 120M sold". 

Person #2 "I thought it sold 160M"

Person #1 "Nah they don't count cus 40M of those sales came after the PS3 released"

So yeah I will pick the lifetime sales for both consoles. PS3 will easily hit 95M and 360 will come close to that as well. Bottom line Wii dominated nothing over all. And even if yu stopped the other 2 at 80M that's still 160M HD machines versus 100M motion fad machines. 

And

Doubt it. PS3 will be lucky to hit 90M. And it won't get there until 2016 at the earliest. That'll be 10 years after first launch. Sony will be able to claim that 10-year plan everyoine scoffed about. But they won't be able to justify continued manufacure of T3h C3ll with such small sales numbers.


after this Xmas it will be at about 86M. Next year with a price cut it should keep going for another 2 years. I can see it hitting 95M in the end. 

It makes no sense to add PS3 and XBOX 360 numbers. Wii sold more than 102 millon consoles, its the winner of the 7th gen.  Even if PS3 gets to 95, still wont sell more. It was not a win by a large percentage like other gens, but a win after all. Adding PS3 and XBOX is like saying that PS4 is not the winner this year because if you sum Wii U and XBOX ONE are more than 50%,  doesnt make any sense to add Nintendo and Microsoft.
