Just so its clear, the Wii was a resounding success. Nearly 100 million sold vs 75 mil each for the ps3 and xbox 360 No one could have predicted this level of success, in fact many were complaining that the Wii had low graphics capabilities and thiz would signify its doom

Yet it was succesful since it launched early, was cheaper (and profitable from day one) and had something innovative(wii remote) And they tried to use that same formula this time with the wii u(the new thing is te tablet like controllers) and their sales have been abysmal, but I wouldnt count them oit just yet, i wouldnt be suprised they go into a heavy marketing campaign when the launch of the ps4 is nearer
