Why is it a fad if some people actually use it more often for their own reasons, rather than just for fps, sports or whatever. A fad would die, neither the Wii fit bb, the wiimote or the Wii online appear to be dying anytime soon.

 

Because a fad or craze is something insanely popular for a time meaning that the Wii is in the craze effect like the PS1 and PS2 was the last two generations. Each console generation has the console which is the main craze of the industry.

PSP vs DS, DS is the craze or fad for the handheld generation.

I have argued in the past that every console in the history of the market can be considered a fad based on a definition similar to the one you just gave ... Which I think is entirely accurate and fair. The problem most people have with the 'Fad' comments is that people who make them use the term in a negative way to say that the Wii's success is somehow different and worse than the PS2, Playstation, SNES and NES' success.
