Wii is such as strong brand name that it's close to literally same-named successor was a neutron star level of collapsing  failure.

Let's get old school. Do you think the Wii was a better console than the PS3?

Wii U isn't relevant to this discussion. We are talking 7th gen, Wii vs PS3.

And yes, I do think the Wii was a better console than the PS3. But that's also irrelevant. Wii outsold the PS3, that's the bottom line.

It is relevant. The name "Wii" meant jack shit in the very next gen. Where was all the recognition for the Wii name? Lots of people must have thought the Wii-U sucked. Sucked soooooo hard that it's suckiness was able to counteract it's strength in the field of placard recognition. As for your personal tastes regarding Wii v PS3, fair enough.
