Because they are much more appealing to the masses and much more fun?

Ha ha, no kidding!

Can't go by sales numbers when you, ya know, COMPARE SALES.

Can't count this, can't count that, blah blah blah.

I suppose they'll use this for 3DS vs Vita stuff, too.

Well, I mean, the point was that I applied arbitrary rules to intentionally stack the odds against Nintendo for the sake of argument, and they still won. Just shows that there isn't any room for debate.

@jonnybmk: And the OP already did them a favor by omitting games with the word "Wii" in the title. And even that concession wasn't good enough!
