The Nintendo Wii will no longer occur more in Japan

The official website of Nintendo announced that its successful past generation console, the Nintendo Wii, is no longer in production in the country of the Rising Sun, with which “Big N” closed cycle, which lasted seven years.

The Wii went on sale in late 2006 and quickly positioned itself as family entertainment machine par excellence, as their game offered more chords to the bulk of the population is not interested in video game content than those offered by the X- Box 360 and PS3, which focused on the players “in shape.”In addition, control of movement gave a new understanding home games.

Therefore, I had a meteoric rise in sales of that era, which lasted until late in the current generation of consoles, with what was awarded first undisputed place of generation, moving over 100 million units worldwide.

The problems came when, a few years ago, the Wii stopped selling well, both hardware and software; ceding ground to the competition. This was due to its technological backwardness, low quality of a large percentage of their titles, lack of support from external developers and their very public, because, not being regular players, did not provide feedback to the video game market ( could have more Wii Sports and not feel the need to buy any other game or console). Against this background, made the leap to Nintendo Wii U, its current machine.

It is expected that in the coming months, the Wii stops occur elsewhere in the world.
