S.T.A.G.E. said:

I noted that the Wii motes are still factored around Nintendo Land but they are secondary. How many people will reinvest in a wii mote after they sold off their Wii? I say this because the Nielsens stated that the PS3 and 360 had more utility than the Wii hence why the Wii had less user activity even though it at one time sold double what they sold. I am sure about 70% of Wii's were being sold back to gamestop or sold off on Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist. it served its limited purpose and entertained them for a little bit. 

So, that's about 70 million 2nd hand Wiis resold out there, eh? Sounds totally plausible.

In other news, I am sure tomorrow we'll be visited by martians who look like lollipops and who will give us the secret to eternal life and happiness.
