 If Nintendo was doing so great then why did they kill the Wii? gotcha indeed.

"Kill the Wii?"  What are you talking about?  Every system has an expiration date, when the next system begins to take over and you have to let your previous-gen system go.  Every system.  Ever.  How is the Wii any different?  In fact, it's had a longer life as Nintendo's current home console than the N64, GameCube, and even the SNES for that matter.  Those systems were only supported for five years.  Wii was supported for six.

You call what the Wii got on 2011 and 2012, "support"? it was on life-support, yeah.

Factually speaking, Wii was Nintendo's home console for six years, while SNES, N64, and GameCube were only their current console for five.  So, it is true.  We can go back and forth about particular games, like Skyward Sword in Q4 2011 and Mario Party 9 in Q1 2012.  But I'm just pointing out that you're incorrect when you say Nintendo killed the Wii, as it was their longest console cycle since the original NES.
