top paragraph - easy mistake to make i'm sure. true, i do most of my gaming on my iphone but on this i don't exactly practice what i preach. i still strongly believe dedicated handhelds are going to lose a significant amount of customers to smartphones but i'll get one anyways.
bottom paragraph - if by support you mean games then the wii had amazing support in the first 2ish years. okay yeah, it was almost entirely nintendo but still... even nintendo stopped supporting the consoles around the 2 year mark.

Nintendo was high on their success at around the two year mark and thought they could make no mistakes. Poor lineup for the holiday season 2008, nothing really planned for the first half of 2009 and third parties didn't show up. That's about the time you switched camps.
Then in the second half of 2009 Nintendo released games again, looked back at the whole year and then decided that the Wii is a seasonal console, so they do the same in 2010: don't really bother with the first half and put everything in the latter half. Same for 2011. It's as if they are too stupid to notice the correlation between software releases and hardware sales, so they don't spread it out more evenly.
In hindsight, every year had about the same amount of actually good releases, but in the later years mostly everything got pushed into fall or the holidays.

well i checked my games and 2009 was definently the year i switched camps. LBP was my first ps3 game which i got somewhere around march 2009. i did get quite a few games for the wii in 2009 but looking back i didn't like any of them: NSMB wii, wii sports resort, mad world, tiger woods golf, (EA active was the wifes). then galaxy 2 in 2010. thing is, other than donkey kong country and (soon/probably) zelda SS i don't feel like i actually passed on any good wii games in 2009 onward. am i missing something specific?

I'm only 19 hours in at the moment, but I go as fall as to call it the best home console RPG since Skies of Arcadia.
