wiictoriousIt’s not really news but rather a confirmation of that which we have all been feeling for a long time. The PS3 is wounded, possibly dying, the Wii is succeeding beyond everybody’s expectations (well, not everybody), and the 360 is comfortable in the middle ground, having given up the fight for #1.

The battle is over, people. Nintendo has won, and decisively. Sony won the last one, Microsoft can’t really lose with Gears and Halo on its side, and Nintendo has had this glory coming for a long time. Let’s just enjoy the fruits of the last few years of heated competition — by coming over to my house and playing Twinkle Star Sprites on my Dreamcast.
