Oh no, not this talk again. It is by now in no way guaranteed it will and if this will ever happen, the new gen has already sold million units and nobody cares about last gen.

So, you're saying that the PS3 stopped selling when the WiiU came out?

No, I didn't. Read the bolded part again before replying like thousand times done before.

Think about it, when its all said and done the PS3 will be very close to Wii sales, perhaps even more.

Same could happen to 360 (stingray). 

Gotcha. But I think you're presuming that everyone else is you. Harken back to the beginning of the year when an analyst said that global PS3 shipments have passed the 360's - the news was on every website. 2000 comments on the IGN's new page says that you more wrong than right.

It'll be funny if the Wii finishes last.

What? Ah, whatever - this has been discussed before you entered VGC and I won't do this again because it is also derailing the thread.

But the most laughable part is "the news was on every website" and "2000 comments" - this is proving nothing. Perhaps you also say opinions on N4G are right because most agree?

 Also, if you believe more the numbers of an analyst why are you on this site?! But believe what you want, I will end this discussion here.

Have a nice day!

Why this? I will still consider the Wii as gen-winner as it made an impressive comeback company-wise. It is sad that 3rd-party-support was so bad. I had a lot of fun with friends playing on Wii (but didn't own it).

Like I said some of you are obviously still really sad because PS3 didn´t dominate the market. Most will just valuate it for what it is, while Nintendo (since 2011) and MS will have moved on and concentrate on next gen systems, Sony will try to squeeze out every little drop of PS3 due to their billions lost in the beginning. That´s also a reason PS4 likely won´t have backward compatibility.

This is also really similar to the reactions in 2010/2011, when NDS slowed down in Japan due to the shift of development and marketing resources to their next gen handheld and due to that PSP became the best selling system for some months, and we know what this "victory" was in the grand picture of the market today.

Most people would just recognise the sales but I doubt they will be obsessed with last-gen system sales like some people in this thread instead of beeing more interested in how the new systems perform. We know that likely this year and if there are any relevant delays next year all 3 (Sony, MS, N) will have huge marketing campaigns to market their new systems and this will affect any last gen system anyway.
