Wii Rumble Dead?

Eleven years only if you count the years after 1983 or 1984, which are debatable... there should be a line drawn between when a console was actually competitive and when support for it ended -- like how the Super Famicom had releases until 1999 in Japan, but wasn't exactly one of the top systems after 1996 or so...

Well, even by those standards, the Intellivision was a main entry for five years (79-84), which is a decent run by any standard. Consider also that there was a lot more competition in its era.

I've never used an Intellivision, and do know someone who loved the system, but its controller must have its bad reputation for a reason...

I don't think it deserves its bad reputation. Certainly, the contoller is more complicated and less aesthetic than controllers that came later, but in 1979, it was a marvel compared to its competition.
