I joined when you were talking with Don about placards. "Wii would beat PS3 in such a test" Who am I quoting here? What is the quote in reference to? I'm aware. Are you? Tell me more about placards. Tell me why Nintendo holding up the Wii brand didn't propel the the Wii-U to greater success. Tell me why more jackasses potentially recognizing the Wii brand on a game show quiz matter more than ongoing real world sales. Tell how all the people who have made PS4 the #1 selling console have forgotten the number 3. The Wii-U and the PS3 co-existed. The PS3 sold more consoles in it's dying years during than the Wii-U  did in it's entire existence. Is that irrelevant? Better hold up some logos on a street corner and ask passersby to find out for sure. And just to punctuate my own take on the whole affair: The Wii was was weak console. It had some great/good games from Nintendo, but was hilariously outclassed by PS and MS in overall software quality, to say nothing of the other avenues where it was, objectively, the winner of the participation award, and naught else. It was an overall software wasteland with a smattering of Nintendo and third party manufactured oases.

Wii: 101.6 million sold.

PS3: 86.9 million sold.

Wii won last gen and PS3 lost, it's as simple as that. The fact that people are still salty and in denial about this fact in 2018 is beyond ridiculous.

Ah, I see. Thanks for so expertly distilling the topic at hand down to it's essence by posting hardware sales numbers that were never in question.
