Wii will top 100M any time soon then,

Yup.

Quite an impressive number for the succesor to a console that sold 22m lifetime.


Indeed.Now that was a comeback!

On the other hand, it makes it even more painful to see its successor performing worse than the Cube and the very expensive $599 PS3.

That tends to happen when you launch a console without system-selling software and let it fall into a draught immediately following launch.


I guess they truly believed a new NSMB game (that´s way too similar to the others) would be enough to get people to fork over the $$$.

It boggles the mind they let the Wii die prematurely (it was practically abandoned as soon as 2010 was over) and still couldn´t get at least Pikmin 3 out for the launch window period.I figured this time there would be no drought, especially taking into account the Wii´s premature death, but I guess you were right that a lot probably has to do with the 3DS.

Yeah, leaving the Wii to die two years too early and still not having anything to show for it in terms of Wii U software is rather pathetic.

They also overinvested in the 3DS at the expense of Wii U, hence why the 3DS is currently rolling in software while Wii U is skin and bones.
