Release list looking like a barren wasteland and they sold almost 100 million consoles. I've never seen the plug pulled so quick on a console that did numbers like the Wii.

I am willing to bet that if Nintendo were to send a mass test to see how many unique Wii's get turned on at a regular basis that the number would be less than 10 million.

NOBODY I know still plays the Wii.

System was trash so there was no point in continuing to support it. Besides I bet most people who own one just let it collect dust.

Yeah Nintendo has had this track record for a while. They drop support faster than the other 2

Man please. Nobody has abandoned a console this successful this fast. Even Nintendo distanced themselves from it. This console should have had support well into the Wii U's first couple years of life. Last I knew DS games are still being released and the 3DS has been out a while.

The Wii did 4.5x what the Xbox sold and the Xbox didn't sell the most in its generation. The Winner of that gen the PS2 got support for years past its successors release.

C'mon dog, your not new. You know how planned obsolescence works.

If you think this is bad its only going to get worse. Look at how quick the new Iphone came out, the new ipad, plus the ipad mini, whens the next shyt comin out? You can barely keep shyt for a 1year and a half before you can no longer keep up with the Joneses

I dont know who the Joneses are but fukk'em :manny: Just be happy with what you have.
