Is PC a safer purchase than consoles due to the volatility of the console market?

I assume he means that the Wii won last gen. Sony 2nd, Microsoft 3rd. 

Ah.  Another supremely constructive addition to conversation.  
I thought I already established I was posting under premise Wii was not competitor to S/M, and one cannot win a competition that doesn't exist. Clearly some consider them competitors, but equally, others do not, including Sony themselves as well I don't see Nintendo hyping competition. Nintendo themselves consistently emphasized uniqueness and non-competition, i.e. blue seas, so it's not unreasonable to also assume that. Regardless, people use different paradigms, but it is absurd to ignore that and interpret an invocation of different paradigm as "rewriting history".

It's like people who hear a usage of "America" as "USA" (instead of "American Continents") as get offended rather than "internally translate": "OH, they must mean the different thing, so I will understand their statement as that, so I can respond to what they were actually communicating". Obviously I never made a statement suggesting PS3 outsold Wii at any point, and I doubt anybody seriously thought I intentionally implied such. So why the childish pretense to not understand the actual intended meaning? Is actual regular communication not the goal here? 

All 3 of them are devices in the home console market. Main focus is to play video games. Even if Nintendo does their own thing, the customer don't really care. All they see in the market are 3 different home consoles.

OT: What can you do wrong with PC? You buy one, as access to a vast amount of games from all "gen's". And even with better performance.
