Only the Wii generation? You mean, for the past 22 years (as it includes the GameCube).

I mean that since 1983 (I’ll be generous and exclude the Color TV-Game era) through seven console generations only the Wii and WiiU were backwards compatible with the previous console which covers 11 years. That’s 28.5% of consoles and 27.5% of years. Not great odds.
