| Sephiran said: From a sales perspective, Kinnect gave a massive boost to Xbox 360, Kinnect was a major reason why Wii sales fell off a cliff after a few years. |
The real reason why Wii sales declined sharply in 2011 is because Nintendo released only Wii Play Motion in the first half of 2011, a game that came bundled with a controller and was sold for $50. It was a bad year for Nintendo software on the Wii as Nintendo had already shifted development focus to the 3DS (released in Q1 2011) and the upcoming Wii U.
Even over a decade later people refuse to acknowledge the severe software drought of 2011, because they'd rather believe that the Wii was a fad. That all the same people got blindsided by Ring Fit Adventure's and Switch Sports' success doesn't matter to them.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
