I just want to see what pgrf thought was there winner and why? I also wanted included handhelds cause I know some people loved the ds much more then they loved the consoles this gen so who won the generation for you?

for me the ps3 did cause I poured alot of love into it and it also has some great games like the last of us metal gear solid 4 and infamous 2 to just name a few it also had playstation plus which I think is a big thing for the system as I get some good games that I would have never thought to buy

Considering companies release video game systems to sell to make money, and they're all in competition with one another, a quick check of the stats would show you the ds won.

true it did sell 70 million more than the ps3 and xbox 360 buuut the ps3 and 360 are still selling and they sell for more than double the price so no, if you are doing it by money I don't feel like doing the math but one of them won

This is not accurate at all because you don't take into account the cost to make each system. Sony was actually losing money on each console for years and hoping software sales would help make up for it, even when the ps3 was selling for over $500. The xbox 360 had the same problem for a while as well, losing over %100 dollars a console for it's first few years on the market, again hoping that the software sales would make up for it.The ds was incredibly cheap to make and nintendo earned a profit by selling it.

The fact that xbox360 and ps3 are still selling I'm not sure is to be counted due to the title of this post being who won the war, now who is winning, implying the numbers be taken from the time of this post.

My internet is being a bit funny right now but I will get some sources as soon as it behaves.

Console sales aren't the only source of income.

No, but this poll is putting different systems at odds with one another, not their entire game libraries and peripherals and hardware add ons and what not. That's how the original question and poll seemed to me any how.

I really think the PS3 won. It had most of the same third party titles as XBOX, but also had some incredible exclusives.
