IMO, I think 60% of the reason the Wii is selling so well is the price, not the software or controller.

So why did their previous consoles sell so much worse than the Wii? The same for other previous consoles from other companies.

 

Because the other console (PS) was about the same price not $300 more expensive. Note that the most expensive console was the Saturn and look what happened to that despite its early release. The PS also appealed to people who liked having CDs as the media, for various unsaid reasons.
