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.

Counting broken ps3's the gap is bigger. The gap was only partially closed because nintendo stopped support for wii, making sales quickly decrease.
You talk about ps3 selling more software. Not only the difference is small, isn't it too easy to sell more games when more games are released? Still took long after wii stopped getting games untill ps3 software passed it. You ended proving just how much of a software seller wii was, almost as much as the competitors even while missing on over a hundred multiplatforms.
