They don't need, still they release TLOU and GT6 at the very end of the PS3 life and start of PS4. That isn't what Nintendo usually do with their major IPs.

Wii major ips got dropped before the yearly sales were even below what would probably be the peaks of GC. And considering games would have between 2-3 years of dev time, if they aren't releasing games after the 4th year of the console, then they shifted the dev to the next console while still on the middle of the current gen.

Does not include Virtual Console or New Play Control releases.

But please, tell me again how they don't support their console after the 4th year.

I liked that you included every single game even smaller ones and that you consider 2009 as year 4 of Wii using the couple months of 2006 as full year, meaning your whole table is likely having one year added. But thanks for the list and for showing the Heaviest Hitters were on the first half of the consoles life and not the second half.
