NEWS: No More Wii Production in Japan

Official Japanese Wii website confirms that the console will no longer be produced throughout Japan.

Releasing back in 2006 (really, that long?...), Nintendo's Wii took the world by storm, offering casual and party-like games for the whole family, with the odd "hardcore" game here and there. Since its release, it has shipped over 100 million units, and sold roughly 873 million games (since June 2013).

Nothing has been mentioned regarding production for the rest of the world, but with Nintendo focusing on the Wii U mainly, it wouldn't be too surprising to see a worldwide end to Wii production.

And now, the console will no longer be produced in Japan according to the official Japanese Wii website - a translation reads "生産終了", meaning "production ended."
