Without Playstation, would the industry be in another crisis?

Wiimote + nunchuck is a gamepad with some buttons less. still a gamepad, wich was your original point.

Software sales remained high while software kept releasing. 2010 had many 1st and 3rd party releases and they all sold very well. 2011 had a decline because there was barely any new software for it.

You're spitting anything but facts.

Ah, I said the Wiimote and Nunchuck is not a "standard" gamepad. Stop arguing this point, the existence of the Wii Pro Controller proves I'm right.

Here's the thing, you're looking at software sales as a whole. You aren't taking into consideration what type of software was selling on Wii. The people that enjoyed core games on Wii declined quickly. The people buying casual and 1st party games on Wii stayed around longer but went away as well. Wii support declined because the audience went away.

Again, I'm just giving facts. Most people will agree with me because its reality.

You said gamepad, wiimote + nunchuck is one. the pro controller is for the extra buttons.

Now to some points: there's no such thing as "casual" game. dismissing a game as "casual" is very imature. ya know, fps was a new genre once, will you consider it casual? the wii brought new kinds of play that were enjoyed by new and old gamers. on top of that, all kinds of games sold well to great on the wii. saying things like "The people that enjoyed core games on Wii declined quickly" is beyond wrong. it's pure downplaying. you aren't giving me facts, facts would be how wii had great software sales while software kept being released on it.
