The Nintendo Wii was discontinued in late 2013 primarily because its groundbreaking novelty faded, third-party developers abandoned it due to lower profits and outdated hardware, and Nintendo shifted focus to its successor, the underperforming Wii U, which itself paved the way for the successful hybrid Switch.
