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. 

All of which is still subjective. What you think makes a game or console good will be different to what I think makes a game or console good, because it's all just a matter of opinion. Entertainment is by its very nature totally subjective because everyone has their own ideas about what is or is not fun.
