The later years of the Wii did actually show a pretty bad decline in Nintendo software... or more so there was some good stuff coming for it, but at that point it was mostly used as a platform for half baked games hoping to just sell a few hundred K copies because the machine was statistically in more homes and even if the games were duff they were still more likely to sell on that console than a X360/PS3 I just mean I think the drop off the wii-u suffered was sort of in effect at the end of the Wii life, where the PS2 was still a very strong seller all during its lifetime, the PS2 was selling until the PS3 reveal and price tag made people stop and gasp... but the Wii had slowed a good deal before the Wii-u was shown. |
Are you sure? I would argue there were half baked games made for its entire life. For the most part there were just a lot of WiiSports/FIt me too games and lot of ports with tacked on motion controls in its first few years. Of course those games would be more likely to sell on Wii than on PS360 even with Kinect and Move but a lot of multiplat games did better on PS360 sometimes even by a large number. (COD comes to mind)
Yeah your 2nd point is very true.
