Or that the market that made the wii successful abandoned nintendo? |
Again, i highly doubt this, especially on the Wii side which promoted local multiplayer and more physically interactive games. Phones aren't taking that away (unlike, say, from handhelds), and Kinect was not nearly so popular as to explain total flight. Reasoning would need to be provided to explain why a vast, diverse group of customers suddenly gained a hive mind.

Because Nintendo abandoned what made the Wii successful, and the Sony/MS model is still unsustainable. |

I think a large portion of the third party issue is due to demographics though. Hence why third party games were more prevelant and generally sold better on the Xbox than the Cube, despite similar power/ install bases. |
this, i dont know why people swear GC didnt have at least decent 3rd party support. It did. but as you said they still sold less than even xbox version, so their is def. a demo issue

How could they possibly follow up the Wii? VR? The Wii had the kind of hype the PS4 has now. It had an amazing reveal, everyone knew it, everyone wanted it, it was genuinely refreshing. It went viral, as of late Nintendo seems way too passive to achieve any of this again.

Actually they didn't. Maybe you don't look at the charts when it comes to casual games. just dance 4 sold best on wii. |
wow a game series that was EXCLUSIVE to Wii sold the best on Wii. What a victory, NVM the fact that the series has been in decline the last two years.

Imagine if the Nintendo 64 had Final Fantasy VII as planned. Good lord.

The series was not exclusive to Wii. Only the first 2 were Wii exclusive. They've been mutliplatform since then.

i would say the WIi was even bigger back then.
I dont agree with this badass WIi image that people have put in their minds. Lets be real, what Ninty did wasnt that risky, they didnt think the WIi would do what it did. Which is why they went cheap as possible in every aspect of the system including the actual controls. So if it had failed they would have lost practically nothing. Originally they were just going to throw an add on controller to GC.

hence the word "was" past tense.
