I think JJ Abrams "wii-ified" the Star Trek Franchise, basically.
Had it continued on the way it was before, the current "hardcore" star trek base would have shrunk, and there were hardly any new "casual" star trek fans jumping on board.
I dare you to find a person who became a Star Trek fan from watching Enterprise, or even Voyager. Most likely, the people who watched Enterprise/Voyager/DS9 are the same people who watched TNG.
So the new Star Trek catered more to "casuals" but also managed to pay homage to the original continuity.
