I've never bolded an entire comment until before. To whom does it not matter? There is no objective case? Are you even remotely aware how badly the PS3 crushed the Wii in terms of software quality? McDonald's sells more food than the premium steak house across the way, but it doesn't make the crap they heat under a lamp a better meal. Perhaps, if the Wii had offered own it's own customers more streak instead of Happy Meals, the Wii brand wouldn't have died so miserably. PS3 had more quality games by a mile. It had much more powerful hardware. It was a multimedia powerhouse. It had a much better online feature set. I won't even get into each of the individual ways, in each specific area that the PS3 demolished the Wii. The "king". A paper tiger next to it's comtemporaries. Including MS, a company I've had to work on not slamming reflexively. But it is what it is. Or was. Wii was popular though!

The PS3 "crushing" the Wii in software quality is purely subjective. I'd say it was the other way around. Similarly, the value of powerful hardware, multimedia capabilities, and online are all subjective. Since the Wii sold more, clearly a lot of people preferred what the Wii had to offer over graphics, multimedia, or online.

Ha! We're not talking about a 1:1 ratio. I asked you if you were even remotely aware how badly the PS3 crushed the Wii in terms of software quality, and the answer is no. No you are not. The gap in high quality titles on PS3 vs the Wii is staggering. It's not even close, and there is no amount of subjectivity that's going to narrow that objectively large gap. And oh yes, that the Wii sold more is truly the most objective way to determine it's quality. Not any other the other objective ways I've already addressed that are actually truly objective. It's not like I've already offered up a decent analogy with the popularity of McDonalds vs a steakhouse to get past that nonsensical concept. Acura makes a better car than Porsche right? Because sells more.
