E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

This race is much harder to give a prediction on.

Last generation PS2 had 20 million units, GT3: A-Spec, FFX, MGS2 all out before GC and Xbox even launched. This generation is showing much more parity between PS3 and X360 than last generation and Wii is off doing its own thing but is likely to end the generation with the most sales.

If we wait for another year and theres a new winner, will gaming mags declared a winner?

Wii's outselling them both put together now so you tell me who the winner is. I don't need a magazine to tell me that.

I reckon when it comes to unit sales, makret share, revenue, likely going to be the wii, probaly declared either before or after christmas this year. Wii also wins when it comes to expanding the industry and making it more friendly.

YEAH, but gaming mags and video game shows still declared whose the winner of this generation, they done it with the PS2, not the Wii. Just for confirming purposes

Yes PS2 was the last generations winner and the Wii will be this one regardless of what the magazines say.

Do you mean the Panasonic console? LOL REALLY? :D Though a few years later we never thought a electronics company like Panasonic could take over the video gaming world. We really never knew what will happen in the future arent we?

The thread title looks like it was written by Yoda.

I don't think gaming publications actually declare console winners. I've yet to see it anyways.
