I don't think Wii won software sales. It may have had the best selling game or something, but overall game sales died halfway through the generation. That is why at the start of this one Nintendo was already dismissed, and lots of people didn't even notice that there was a difference between the Wii and the U.
If Nintendo has sold a crap ton of games the entire generation, that wouldn't have happened.
That said, why in the name of anything is sales and awards the focus? We are gamers, not board members. If Flower 2 wins game of the year this year, fifty websites agree, and it sells a billion copies no one is going to argue that it won System wars. People are going to roll their eyes at the strolling simulation and go on about their arguments.
