As Wii sales continued to shrink month to month and software support slowed to barely a trickle, Nintendo knew it needed to make its move on a new platform that would replace the Wii. How it would go about doing that while replicating the Wii's success was anyone's guess, but expectations for a new console announcement were high. After all, Nintendo changed the face of console gaming (for better or worse, depending on your perspective), bringing more people into the fold who don't necessarily read video game websites or dissect every screenshot for the slightest bit of information. How do you keep that momentum going and simultaneously recapture an audience that might have been turned off from what the Wii primarily offered?
