Wii confirmed the upcoming shutdown! Nintendo bets Wii U

With the last arrival of PS4, Xbox one, the home game field is also officially ushered in the era of new and old host replacement, following the formal retirement of the Sony PS2 game last December, Nintendo announced today that it has made a contribution to the company's Wii game consoles will be discontinued in the near future. Although the official did not give a specific point of time, but I personally expect the latest in mid-October. It is understood that Nintendo in December 2006, the first sale of the white version of the Wii game machine, although its game screen repeatedly criticized, but the new body sense of control does let a lot of players, and in the August 2009, the company launched a black appearance mainframe. Data show that by the end of June 2013, the Wii has been sold around the world 104 million units, game software sales to 870 million sets, beyond the red and white machine to become the most popular in the history of Nintendo's home game machine. Interestingly, even after the launch of Nintendo's next-generation Wii U, the Wii's shipments and sales have not been hit too much, but it is the Wii U's market performance has been poor, it is really a headache for Nintendo. Therefore, I think this shutdown Wii, which plans to push the Wii U's intention is very obvious. But at the same time it has made Nintendo the home game in the field of the bridge, if the Wii U sales in the Wii after the return of the market, then Nintendo will not have a second choice, because in a short time to develop a new generation of host products is not realistic. Speaking of Wii U We incidentally mention that Nintendo recently pushed 4.0 firmware updates for the game, mainly to enhance the function of the GamePad controller, so that it can remotely display the Wii game content and complete the corresponding control operations.
