Nintendo, the scapegoat of the industry

Case in point. Always the fault of Nintendo or its fans.

I feel sorry for Nintendo fans. At my core I am a Nintendo fan, but I do not agree with their politics or unwillingness to work with others. It gives them less opportunities. Their ignorance should not be applauded but their devotion to quality should not go unnoticed. The Wii U severely tarnished the Nintendo image worse than the Gamecube.

I feel sorry for you too! Ha!

Even though the Wii was the leader in sales overall for its generation I really don't think it was the most popular.

Thats sounds dumb but as well as the Wii sold its sales fell in later life and got overtaken by both 360 and PS3 on a weekly basis, that doesn't happen to the most popular console. Wii wasn't the legacy system of its generation.

Imo the most popular consoles have been:

 

• Atari VCS
• NES
• SNES
• PS
• PS2

 

Last gen its hard to say, I'd go for PS3 although its close with the 360. They've both been supported longer and have higher software sales than Wii.

They're simply 'cooler'. Its common in pop culture for the Wii to be made fun of, after a huge 3 years it became a bit of an embarrassing joke.

No, it was the Wii. Simple as that. Don't look for excuses. Just as the Wii U is the least popular succesful console ever in Nintendo history (VB I know), Wii was their most popular and the most popular console last gen.
