Wii died off pretty quickly after the first insane years

?

The Wii was the best selling console for the first four years of it's life. 

For context, year 5 was better than any year XBone has had to date. Year 6 beat any year the Wii U had. (not hard obviously) 

I feel like the Wii has a reputation for being a flash in the pan, but 20 million people came back for Wii Fit Plus. 30 million came back for Wii Sports Resort.

It had a longer life than people seem to remember. 


2006: 2,954,781

2007: 16,553,289

2008: 24,188,263

2009: 21,295,417

2010: 17,320,956

2011: 11,522,685

2012: 5,082,024

2013: 1,947,850

2014: 515,969


Wii slowed down in 2011 but still had good sales, it wasn't until 2012 when it collapsed. For some strange reason people think the Wii died after 2009.
