PS3 won in the same way the twin towers won 9/11.

The PS3 had the best games in my opinion, but the Wii won the overall war due to the gimmick catching fire with pseudo-fitness people and moms
>>
Nah
Gen 7 got stale in 2010 & while PS3 got better exclusives than 360 in the last days, it NEVER EVER got the promised triforce that was Versus 13, Last Guardian & Agent like Sonyfags kept promising every year since 2006

Looking at 2005-2010, 360 wins easily
>>
This is my normal state......

>>375952542
Considering the PS4 pretty much HAD to save Sony from the complete fuck up that was the PS3, I'd say no.

Wii had no games, it was a Brawl/Project M machine

PS3 won the core gamer audience but the Wii won the general audience

Better games.

I don't think a console by microsoft can ever win anything. If you seriously think 360 won you have mental disabilities.

The real competition is between wii and ps3. Suicide if you consider microsoft with anything other than your fucking computer OS.

Your metric for "Winning" must be different from mine

Not even a console fag but whatever console that wasn't Xbox 360 lost. Everyone had one and played on it.
>>
>>375952542

PS3 won on europe
Xbox won on murica.
NDS won in Moonland

>>375953540
That's a pretty pointless metric that no company actually works towards. You might as well measure a long jump event by who makes the biggest dent in the sand pit. Or look at the popular vote in the US presidential election
>>
>>375953876
People are saying the Wii won because they're looking at the company profit. But you can also look at which console won over the audience the best. "Better games" is a valid metric.
>>
>>375953176
Yeah for the first five years it's an easy win for 360

Nah that's PC, all year every year.

>>375952542

Yes, easily. If for no other reasons than it was a blue ray player and had free online.

Thanks, idiots who bought a 360, for making sure paid online will be the norm forever and ever going forward. Hope it was worth it.

This stuff just goes back and forth down the line, though. The 360 only became as popular as it was, despite all of its hardware and paid online bullshit, because Sony shat the bed with the PS3 at first.

>THE POWER OF THE CELL

There's a reason microsoft got their foot in the door last gen and it's not really because of anything they did. Just like how the PS4 established their lead this time before Microsoft decided to commit PR sudoku first.

What? The PS3 lost, by a order of magnitude.

It goes
1. Wii
2-49. Power Gap
50. 360
51-9998. Power Gap
9999. PS3

The PS3 was a nogaems machine with nothing to recommend it except being a cheap bluray player. Just because this board has become /v/eogaf in the wake of PS4's success doesn't mean you can just rewrite history.

The PS3 was expensive, yes, but Sony was trying to build a literal next generation console. Like the next step, instead of all this rehashing with minor improvements we're doing now.

The original PS3 had
>a blue ray player, which was expensive as fuck at the time
>full backwards compatibility for PS and PS2
>Free online
>A fantastic and simple interface that wasn't just a bunch of fucking ads

I gladly paid the initial price tag for a big fat PS3. I would gladly pay the same for another console in this day and age that included the same features.

360 was a cheap piece of shit thrown out there to beat Sony to market and be bought up by poorfag casuals who were just going to play Madden and Cawadooty anyway. And in the years it was out, Microsoft sure as shit made up for the money they didn't charge for their console for their stellar online "service"

That is now the model for all consoles, pay out the ass as we go, with no features aside from being able to play current generation games.

Microsoft fucked us over big time and there were millions of idiots perfectly willing to spread their ass cheeks.
