I'm not an expert, I have no facts to back up what I say, and I what I say is only me stating my opinion.

I always believed the failure with the Wii was down to its games. Though no one questions the first party games such as Mario, Zelda which are always of high quality and sell well. The problem being the 3rd party games which are lacking and mostly poor.

The problem this causes is that I always believed the Console developers makes most of their money off the games. This could also be reafirmed by Console makers being prepared to sell their consoles at a loss hoping to make the money back from the game sales.

Now given the Wii has sold over 90 million consoles worldwide, where as both PS3 & Xbox are just over 60 million each, if one was to look at the total amount of games sold over each of the consoles lifetime to date, both the PS3 and Xbox would have sold considerably more game than the Wii (individually) I would even being willing to bet that might as high as two or three times as many (each).

Because of this (being my thoughts) I would probably have to agree that the Wii is a slight failure. Though the Wii first party games sell and perform well how many do they release each year, two or three? and asie from those the Wii doesnt move many games.
