Pretty crazy considering just 2-3 years ago it was deemed inevitable for it to cross 50% and remain there. People just seemed to have lost interest in it. Something even price cuts couldn't remedy.

Some might say they didn't cut the price soon enough though.

They kept the price of the Wii above $199 for 34 months.

By comparison the PS2 was kept above $199 for 19 months.


The Wii had supply issues for most of those 34 months.

Price was never the Wii's problem, other than perhaps being priced too low at launch. It was all about content. Kowen's chart takes off after 2009 because NSMBWii was the Wii's last mega-hit title.
