No, some of you want to see the wii like a console that sold only to soccer moms that played Wii sorts for a week and they forgot about it, but thats because some of you just dont want to recognise that Nintendo won. I may have to remember you that wii sold:
-2007: 16.5m
-2008: 24 m
-2009: 21m
-2010: 17m
The console was selling like a beast 4 consecutive years, Ps3 and Xb360 never reached those highs in all their lifes, so much for being a "fad", and even when the console went down in 2011, it still sold more than WiiU in all its life, if the interest for the console was so short, then how the hell was selling more than Ps4 even on its 4th year? And how they sold +10 m of units on its lowest year before its succesor? Sounds just like excuses to me.

Amazing numbers, but in the end only the lifetime numbers count and not the numbers achieved in one year, right?
Take a look at the hardware lifetime numbers, Wii only beat PS3 with a gap less than 15M. 15M is not much, especially not enough to call Wii the beast of the 7th generation like a lot people do. A beast would be the PS2, it outsold ALL the competition 3x in lifetime numbers.
Oh and in the end PS3 sold more software than Wii, though I remember that the Wii was the most heavily bundled console ever with games like Wii Sports or Mario Kart Wii.

15M is not much? lol... Its a huge gap, don't pretend okay. The Wii was a beast there is no denying it. The last tme I checked we determine the console wars in one of two ways, Most hardware and Most profit. Usually you go by most hardware. Wii outsold PS3 therefore it won the generation. Ps2 won its generation as well doesn't matter how much it outsold the competitors by.
Now Let's go back to the topic, Who sold the most hardware the wii, which made the most profit the wii. Which console after its almost 10 year life was just about breaking even, ps3. This argument is pointless and all you guys are doign is trying to deny the wii. Don't deny it, don't call it a fad. It happened, it was amazing, it was the fastest selling console at its time. Alright? Alright.
