Judging by the charts the Wii took a big dip after the holiday release of Kinect and Move, it seems like they actually ate away at the Wii sales.

Kinect was released in November 2010 and Move September of 2010.

Just think if GTA4 had been Move compatible.

Kinect became the hot casual thing of 2010, so yeah maybe there.

Move had basically no impact though, that just never broke out into the mainstream.

Yes, Kinect and especially Move did bring down the Wii. Nintendo fought as hard as they possibly could in 2011, but even though they released game after game for the Wii, it wasn't enough to combat the new motion controls of their competitors.

I remember that F-Zero game for Summer 2011. Poor guy didn't stand a chance against Sports Champions.
