what depth exactly is he even talking about - Wii Sports? lol I mean sure the dude has earned the respect of the game industry but when you're wrong, you're wrong. If Wii had focused on making HD games, they would've won this console war hands down, but when you're making crappy games, poor third party support, the only reason you're ahead is because it was cheapest.
As much as you may dislike Nintendo's "crappy games, poor third party support, etc.", there's no question, that Nintendo HAS won this generation's console war. And kudos to them for doing it.
"They would have won this console war"? You speak as if it's over. Seriously if it were over right now, they'd be on top just because of the sheer number of consoles they sold. And the 360 is the cheapest by a good $50 and even if you were to buy a 20gb HDD for the thing it'd be cheaper still. Price has nothing to do with it, they just marketed it to a huge audience.

*cough* the 360 is the cheapest *cough*
When they originally went on sale, it was not the cheapest, that advantage helped the Wii a lot ... plus it's generic gameplay helps.
someone sounds a bit bitter against Nintendo eh?
"they would've won this console war hands down..."
uhh, last I checked, they have. As others have said, the *quality* of the consoles and respective games is completely subjective, however, while Nintendo makes a killing of the Wii (as well as the DSi), Sony ..not so much. http://kotaku.com/5018899/sony-lost-over-3-billion-to-ps3-cost-pricing-imbalance

but what about last generation, the gamecube was the cheapest??
and the 360's price had been dropped for a while now and there hardly has been any shift in sales...
Wii may have sold more colsole but they have not won any war.
The xbox 360 and PS3 are centring around being a hub for media as well as games (entertainment).
Come guys the Wii can't even play DVD's unless you hack it.
Yes, because HD graphics are the only thing that makes games deep.
