You say doubt was on the horizon for Wii in 2009 yet the Wiis 2010 is better than anything the PS3 or 360 could pull off at all, and better than anything the PS4 or Xbox One have pulled off so far? |
There where suggestions by many that Wii was turning into a motion control centered hype that would not last(it didn't). It also wasn't directly competing with X360 and PS3, witch kind of left an hole in Nintendo's line up of systems. In 2009 Wii sales started to show signs of decline.
Also in 2009 Wii went to $199, at that price point it could have easily excited aside an $399 Wii HD. And most people that where just interested in te motion controls would have gone with the original model.
