I'm a big PS3 person, but the Wii won. The Wii has SEVEN exclusive games that sold more than 20 million.


So? I'm fairly sure The Last of Us is widely considered to be a better game that Wii Play.

Comment has nothing to do with wat he said. He's talking sales not ratings which SMG+SMG2 won this gen


No, that would be GTAIV.


Well than Highest exclusive of last generation! (tied for 2nd place overall). 


Why would I play the highest rated exclusive of this gen when I can play the highest rated game of this gen?

Wii wins in sales,
in Innovation, look how much they did was ripped off by the competition,
Mii's (Microsoft avatars)
Motion gaming (Move and Kinect)
Netflix (first console to have it)
Virtual Console (might be wrong about this one)
Now when it comes to games....I dont know, it comes down to exclusives, what do you like more....all big 3 have awesome exclusives but in terms of being a success the Wii won.


Welll for motion... Eye came before Wii, but the gloves on NES are realllllllllly old.

If it makes other people sleep well at night sure, the PS3 won! I don't mind if people say it's the PS3 or the Wii or the PSP. This gen was awesome and it doesn't matter who won!...

I'm pretty sure that the idea of Move and Kinect came from the Wii's success not the Eye toy

1. Sales - we don't know that yet since both the PS3 and 360 are still selling well.

2. Innovation - possibly though in the end, it was just a fad that no one cares about now.

3. Okkk...

4. Motion gaming was present in the PS2.

5. So, you're saying that Sony and MS ripped Nintendo by allowing Netflix to be streamed on their system? And I'm sure you're being serious here too. Btw, didn't native Netflix streaming come to the Wii before the PS3 got it a few days later?

6. Yeah, you're wrong on this one.

7. In terms of awards, Uncharted 2 is still unbeaten.

probably xbox 360 has outsold ps3 anyway.

also, ps3 has like a 12 million to 1 million advantage in japan which is the only reason they had a chance. xbox outsold ps3 easily in the entire rest of the world besides japan combined and nobody can argue that (we can argue which is ahead worldwide, though i think it's clear 360 is since sony never announced 80 million sold after xbox did)

also ps3 lost the most money by far, which seems to be sony's game plan since they constantly lose money as a company where microsoft rakes in billions. so i guess in that sense of losing the most money ps3 was a good typical sony product.

Ok and after you play the highest rated game then wat? Did you play LoZ OoT the highest rated gameof all time? if you say no then your statement is pointless

If that make any gamer feel better, ok bro.

The PS3 was a better hardware, almost a overkill for the market needs at the time, it was expensive for a reason.

Too bad the PS3 is the simbol of Sony going into a financial hole and losing its strengh in the face of the emergency of Samsung and Apple, while in the software side never being up to Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

The market needs others big players. Valve/Steam are too small to sustain a global suply of hardware.
