The Wii is almost selling double what the WiiU is selling. The Wii was never about graphics either. People loved it for the exclusives. The only reason we stopped buying Wii's is because Nintendo basically stopped supporting it. 2010 was still a big year, then 2011 totally collapsed.

 

If Nintendo just would have continued with what they were doing, cut down on shovelware some, and fixed a few other things I am sure the Wii would be fine for everyone still.

People loved it for its motion controls, and the n64, GC, and wiiu are proof of that, exlcusives will never be enough to sell over 40 million, with out great third party support, except for wii, which didn't sell cause of its exclusived but its motion controls which sold to a audience that never even really care about gaming, for instants, i bet everybody on here know none gameers that bough a wii and really enjoyed, like my sister and ex girlfriend, they both never cared about games but love the wii, and say its fun.

Most of that is valid, except for the part about saying NO gamers bought and enjoyed it. I'm as hard core as they come, and I enjoyed it. I mean, Xenoblade? Really? How core is THAT game? It's probably the best RPG since FFX.

The thing is, the Wii was the most diverse of the three. I could play Wii Sports and go for that gold medal in bowling, and then play Madworld or Metriod right afterwards. Sony and MS TRIED to accomplish that later in their life spans, but failed.

The bolded is wrong. Fact is, the only games that PS360 wasnt getting was those motion type games. As soon as they both got their own, they started getting them, and in 360s case they started getting them in spades. Add that to the fact they were ALREADY getting fantastic 3rd party from VARIOUS genres then i cant see how someone in their right mind can say that Wii was the most diverse, it wasnt not even close. Dont see how they failed, they got the type of games that were being made on the Wii. While the Wii was still not getting the games that were always on PS360. To put it in perspective; how much dance games were relased on PS360, exercise? Now how much fighters were released on Wii? 2? 3? How much of those were 3d fighters? what about WRPGs??
