the cheapest and most usable computer wins. The original ibm pcs were worse than the apple macs or the amigas of that time but there were cheaper and eventually had more software. The wii has less power than a ps2 but has more and better games (because of backwards compatibility). The three most seached consoles are the wii and suprisingly the old ps2.
ps: Sony just killed the european ps3 with the missing compatibility chip and the unfinished ps2 emulator. Even apple could do the m68k, ppc, x86 transitions without too many compatiblity problems.
