Look at the support Nintendo gave Wii in 2010 & 2011.

2010

Endless Ocean: Blue World

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Sin & Punishment: Star Successor

PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure

Metroid: Other M

Wii Party

Kirby's Epic Yarn

FlingSmash

Donkey Kong Country Returns

 

2011

Mario Sports Mix

Wii Play: Motion

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Fortune Street

So? There were still 4 Wii games in the top 10 best selling games in 2011. By 2011 the fad was over and nobody cared anymore. That lack of carring carried straight through to the launch of the Wii U.

Where are all of those Wii owners? They didn't stop buying Wiis because the new console was coming out, because they didn't buy that either.

What do u mean so? Are sales supposed to rise or stay stagnant when support drops? Why did Wii sell 11 million in 2011 if nobody cared anymore? Obviously people still cared about it at that point.

As I just pointed out, 2011 had a major decline due to Nintendo support being non-existant outside of the holidays (the first 3 quarters of the year just had a bad Mario sports title and a bad mini game collection). 2012 wasn't any better and Wii U still to this day suffers from long droughts between Nintendo software.
