Everywhere where you search on the web you will see that the Wii (all models) were discountinued in 2013.
Also if the Wii was selling past 2015 we would have sales here on this site too. So you are wrong. Wii was officially discountinued in 2013, therefore it was in production for only 7 years.

Nintendo kept reporting Wii shipments until March 2016, this can be seen in their fiscal reports.
March 2014 - 101.06m - 140507e.pdf (nintendo.co.jp) (page 15)
March 2015 - 101.52m - 150507e.pdf (nintendo.co.jp) (page 16)
March 2016 - 101.63m - 160427e.pdf (nintendo.co.jp) (page 17)
The Wii Mini barely sold anything, and they manufactured very few, but it was still sold.
The Wii Mini wasn't announced until December 2012 and had a staggered release. It launched in Canada in December 2012, the UK in March 2013 and the USA didn't get it until November 2013. Nintendo Wii Mini Headed to the U.S. for $99.99 | PCMag
The other Wii models were discontinued in October 2013, however "the Wii Mini will continue to be stocked" - Wii discontinued in Europe, Nintendo confirms | VG247
The discontinuation of the Wii Mini was never officially announced and I cannot find any source for the 2017 date, but it was definitely still being shipped after March 2015.
