Yup. I don't know why they killed off the DS so early when it was still selling really well.
Just look at the 3DS launch. It was a mess. Why did they rush it? They could have easily waited until the holidays and avoided that early price cut. They could have sold millions more at $250 during the holidays then cut it to $180 in the summer if necessary.
Wii was bound to struggle in its late years. They really didn't future-proof that console at all. The sad thing is that it looks like they are repeating the same strategy with the Wii U.....
