Best console this generation, IMO. After Nintendo dropped support in 2010(and, seeing what Nintendo did, third-parties followed), though, it's library became crippled, altough I still think it's a better console today than the PS3 and 360 which were infested of generic shooters.

Did the thursday part fly over your head? Ps3 isn't even up for debate about being a failure. It had equal third party support with 360. It had equal quality exclusives from Sony but had the most exclusives compared to Ninteno and MS. It sold more than all but 3 1st place consoles. You really have no points to presnt here. Only thing that could be classified as a failure would be profits but thats niether your nor my concern.

Wii being a fad is obviously up for debate looking at poll results and how many posts this thread has

You said this in another thread. And I said you obviously didn't follow this gen... You replied but now I'm leaning towards the fact that you didn't again. Sure they had a lot of generic shooters. They also had a lot of gems for shooters too... they also had a lot of other stuff.

I could easily say Wii had a generic adventure game, a generic fighter, and a generic platformer

I know they didn't had only shooters. But, when I think of 360 and PS3, I automatically think of shooters like Killzone, Resistance, Halo, Gears, Call of Duty and, mostly, of their many, many clones. And, like I said in the other thread, I had a PC able play current-gen(in 2007) multiplatforms and bought a Wii in 2008. Also, in 2011 I bought a 360(it had a few JRPGs which I couldn't miss and, of course, Halo, which is awesome).

If the Wii was a fad, then the reality of it leading this generation ends up evidence that the top console sales this generation were the result of a fad.  Think about that a minute, and then ask yourself if this a good thing regarding the future of home consoles.

Lol why are you comparing how much previous first place consoles sold to how much the PS3 sold? Didnt you tell another poster "comparing a system that launched when consoles reached their limit at 60 million compared to a console that launched when consoles reached their limit at 160 million?" Yet here you are doing it yourself. Maybe you're doing it to make the PS3 look better than it is. PS3 being a failure is obvious if anything. It had all of what you listed and still sits 20 million units behind the Wii and it even sold less software. PS3 is much more of a failure than Wii is a fad.

If you take what I said completely out of context to fit your agenda... yeah... I guess you can say I said that. Okay let's ignore the first place console comment. I can still say Ps3 still sold more than last gens 2nd and 3rd place console by over x3...

Yet still lost more money than they did. Lol, you just bragged about the PS3 being the most successful failure. Thats more than enough proof of it being a failure.
