It depends. If the PS3 can really manage to sell 20 million units more, then it means that it wasn't really over. 20 million would be 1/4 of what PS3 sold up to now and, even though I think it's really unlikely, it would be a clear sign that the generation wasn't over.

Wii. I still don't get how people think otherwise or create their own magical worlds to dismiss it.

Too bad the succesor is flopping and will end in last place. Talk about turnarounds.

Oh boy, here we go again

Wii and 360 won in terms of gaining marketshare. Wii is the obvious winner in sales. PS3 won in terms of games, they've built some impressive franchises this gen.

Everybody.

I'm not saying the PS3 died, just that the generation is going to be over soon. New hardware is arriving! But, whatever! In my opinion the Wii had better exclusives but it's a matter of opinion. Sony had good exclusives but I don't think they are better than what Nintendo offered this generation.

Consumer wise they weren't better, the first years where terrible, and that is something I won't forget easily. My PS3 literally collected dust for 2 years until games I liked arrived to the console.

I liked the last years of the console when it started to have games I enjoyed, but to me they didn't win this generation in any aspect.

Gamers won. It was a fun ride! On all consoles.The losers were the ones who limited themselves to a particular system bc of blind loyalty.

The winner is the wii! No matter how you all spin it both microsoft and sony are the losers this generation and that especially goes to sony. Microsoft only leached off from sony instead of creating their own audience. Your analysis of so called "casual crowds" is completely stupid. Tactical standpoint ? LOL there is no such thing. Instead of giving some damage control to the fact that microsoft lost (as well as sony for the others in this thread) why don't you so called "core" gamers acknowledge the fact the wii shitted on the sub hd twins this generation.

Out of those MGS4 and Valkyria Chronicles really stand out, Uncharted was nice but the first one was not that good xD. It was nice to have them (specially MGS4) but the first years where lame at least for me.

Well Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 had 97 and Xenboblade did like 92. Still I wouldn't use Metacritic to value a game. Little Big Plante has a 95 but personally I think it really sucks xD.

Who cares...I mean what do people gain from deciding which console won the generation when tbh in the grand scope of things your opinion is irrelavent.
