Nintendo outsells everybody the week of christmas. Wii u outsells xbox one

Who was the real winner of the Console Wars?

The companies, These people think that they actually give a shit about consumers "fighting" to protect their favourite product when all they're doing is laughing and counting their money.

Hows this one Oobla. Lets look at the fact that the Wii U has been out considerably longer than either the PS4 or the Xbone and its sold less than the ps4 and the xbone has almost sold as much while missing a key market.

Crow you may need to see a doctor, the amount of butthurt you're experiencing about Nintendo may lead to anal hemmorhaging which could be fatal if left unchecked.

Let's not forget the mighty Bit Wars back in the days.

Fear my Jaguar and its 64 Bit graphics. We have absolute fuckall for games.

Yes, I actually did and still do own a Jaguar.

Honestly, sales don't matter that much as long as the consumer is satisfied with their purchase. If they suffer a loss, then they should rethink their market or get out of the console industry.

If I wanted family games, I'd get a Wii U. For RPG's that's more of the PS4. The XBOne is good for Action games.

Oh god the fucking Atari Jaguar that was hilarious, I remember seeing one in an old computer store (no such thing anymore!) and just asking what it WAS because they had jackshit for advertising.  My buddy got the N64 and I got a PS1 so we didn't give a fuck for console warring because we could always play whatever games

I might be biased from growing up on a playstation....but who cares. Playstation is forever in my heart.   

I've never understood these kinds of allegiances. I was raised on Nintendo, but I sure as hell don't support their current policy of "rerelease old titles and half-ass new ones; new IPs be damned."

...and before any of you say anything, I don't care about the new Zelda or the new Pokemon.

The reason I have an allegiance to Playstation is not just because I have owned their products growing up. I have (personally) never had any major issues, and the minor issues were either so minor I didn't care or were caused by me. I have played Xbox consoles and owned Nintendo consoles dating back to the NES, and through that personal experience as a gamer I have simply come to prefer Playstation products.

Also I realize that I didn't mention anything about the subject of the thread. I think the main reason that the Wii U did so well is similar to what Blade said. Nintendo is more known for family games and parents during Christmas are (typically) looking for a console that has family type games, not FPS games like Halo, COD, etc.

You posted a link bragging about Nintendo sales and are surprised it turned into a console war?

Never said I was surprised, I just think the posting of the article on here was taken out of context.
