I dont buy the economic crisis excuse

DS and Wii had record sales during the height of the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 (nintendo had record profits)...next excuse.

Although to be fair back then, it was only just starting. Now we're deep in the recession.

Plus back then Greece, Spain, Italy weren't nearly bankrupt. And Germany & France wasn't bailing them out! Thats alot of countries and people with no money.

Its part of the reason to go with the other reasons mentioned by others.
