You can't have proof. But basically wii sports wasn't good game, it sold systems because it was innovative. The next wii u sports won't.

It is your opinion Wii Sports isn't a good game. In my opinion, it is a good game. Lets put things in perspective here. I went to a party a couple of weeks ago and people where playing Wii Sports hot seat and having a damn good time. 7 years after it released. I have never in my life met anyone who sniffed and said Wii Sports isn't a good game. 

Question is. Will any of these people uprade to something like Wii Sports U? I'm sure some of them will if they actually know it exist. 

The game isn't responsive, has no depth and barely any basic movements. It is hard to determine the skill needed for the game due to factors such as luck and randmoness. Compared to other party games it lacks features especially social ones. Then their is the god awful presentation and graphics which harm the aim of the game which is to make people feel like if they are playing a real sport. But ofcourse such things are overlooked because of how innovative it was. 

Aside from the boxing game (which is awful with the nunchuck) Wii Sports was perfectly responsive.  I'm not sure what randomness you're talking about.  Tennis and Baseball are almost purely based on timing and pitch selection.  Golf is based purely on force.  Bowling is determined based on your arm movement.  Boxing is a crap shoot.

Compared to other party games Wii Sports is incredibly simplistic, which is a good thing.  You boot it up, click a button, and boom, tennis.  The graphics were made simple to be unintimidating as well as to keep production costs down.  I don't think the goal of Wii Sports was to make me feel like I was in the MLB but to create a simple and fun video game version of the sports and to get people adapted to using the WIi Remote.
