How well do you think Nintendo's Wii did overall? You often hear it said that Wii won the 7th Console Generation; however, how desisive do you think its win was overall? Some stats to help you reach your conclusion. Even though it was the only 7th Gn Console to sell anywhere near 100 Million Consoles ( it just barely did that and it's not likely to sell much more ) by comparison's sake the winner of the Preceding Generation, Sony's Playstation 2, sold over 50 Million Consoles.
With the possible exception of Japan ( where Sony's Playstation 3 still has a longshot chance to pass Wii) Nintendo's Wii failed to win one of the major territories as it will be passed in North America by Xbox's 360 and in Europe by Sony's Playstation 3. And Wii failed by a large margin to gain 50% of the 7th Gen's console market space. By comparison, Playstation 2 won all three 6th Generation territories and captured over 50% of the 6th Gen's Console Marketshare.
Lastly, years after Wii games had stopped selling and / or being developed in any significant numbers excellent games for its two competitors Microsoft's Xbox360 and Sony's Playstation 3 each and every week. For its part, Playstation 2 continued to sell ( and to be the most played console ) long into the 7th Gen.
So, how well do you think Nintendo's Wii really performed? Did it dominate the 7th Gen as its staunchest supporters frequently say or do you think it's early success and quick burnout really do indicate that Wii was just a fad?
