Yeah but you can not pretend that its support was not lackluster after 2010.

It was indeed, but people throw the term "dead" around far too easily, to the point where it's almost lost any meaning.


sry dude, i just care about the games that are available on my console. Wii wasnt meant to be a dust collector (i think), so yeah, it was pretty much dead way before the launch of the wii u (well, according to Iwata, they still supporting the system...)

Skyward Sword. Lost in Shadow. Pandora's Tower. Kirby Return to Dreamland. The Last Story. Xenoblade. Rhythm Heaven Fever. Skylanders. Just Dance 3 (will sell 10 million units). Mario & Sonic 2012 Olympic Games. Mario Party 9. Dragon Quest X (Japan). Epic Mickey 2. CoD MW3. LEGO games.


All 2011/2012 Wii releases. Support didn't just up and die. It thinned a lot but some of those titles are either popular or pretty high quality. Lackluster, but not dead.

FY 2012 and 2013 combined Wii shipped 14 million hardware units and 153 million units of software.


Wii-U won't get the same support as the Wii did, although that was still lackluster compared to the competition. The install base just isn't there. After 2015 it will be dead.

it will have as much core gamer as the wii at this point.  the kind of gamers that buy games till no new come out for the console.
