It hit its peak well before Nintendo stopped supporting it, I dunno who you expect to believe this 240 million nonsense. |
Isn't the 3rd year the traditional year games consoles peak sales wise? I know PS3/360 really threw that rule out with window but didn't most past consoles peak in their 3rd years? 2008 was the Wii's 3rd so it makes perfect sense that it was its peak year to me.
Also most consoles traditionally have a 5 year cycle, so amazing support up until 2010 again makes perfect sense. This brings me to my opinion on the Wii U... it came out 1 year to late.
2011 is when that should have dropped, that way Nintendo would still have had some momentum. As it turned out they were largely irrelevant in the home console scene after Xmas 2010 and I think they lost a lot of potential Wii U sales to PS3/360.
