Who's winning the console war right now? If you answered "Wii", then guess again.
Although the Wii has indisputably made its way into more homes than the Xbox 360 or the PlayStation 3, it should not be considered the most successful console of this generation so far. No, I'm not trying to trip you up, either: Nintendo DS is not the answer. Despite falling a few million units behind in terms of console sales, the Xbox 360 is actually winning this generation. Let me explain why.
There's more to winning the console race than simply selling more units than your competitors. This has always been a fact, but was more difficult to see in the two-competitor, Sega/Nintendo or Sony/Nintendo eras, because the winner in both cases just so happened to sell more units. Indeed, there is obviously a strong correlation between overall success and the number of consoles sold. A more fair system in today's environment, though, would be to look at five different metrics.

really good article, makes some great points.
Great read, and I liked that big WAWOOP at the end seeing a section of the PS3.
Revenue really. Well they can make 4 billion but how much is that in gross? I'm sure Nintendo still grosses more even though they make less. Attachment rate yes 360 has it. Return of value is subjective. Fun article but it's written by a guy who really likes his 360. A different article could be written saying the opposite for each of the others.
That was a great read. Very insightful and made great points.
ok and yes higher attach rate but that due to the nature of 360 owners that they are hardcore gamers and had twice and more install base in the beginning of 2007 than the ps3 so its obvious the 360 will have higher attach rate!
plus this year suppose to be a historical year for the 360 with the release of their biggest games in history(suppose), yet ps3 with high price and no games and bad online community sold more than 360!
i based on those facts i can call the 360 a failure console and brought nothing more than xbox except the upgrade in CPU and GPU!
EDIT
one more thing they talk about the 360 owners spending more money on 360 but u know why? other than they are hard core gamers they also spend extra money to buy the same game that their console damaged and with buying new consoles because of RROD(before they got the 3 year warranty) and the extra money they pay for live every damn year!
