I don't see many people rushing to buy a GC for Super Mario Sunshine. In the other hand, NSMB Wii and DKR were the reasons I bough the Wii, and I doubt I'm alone.

Oh I doubt you are, there are many dedicated Nintendo fans out there, about 22 million going by last gen.
NSMB didn't push hw last xmas past any normal boost. It got a price cut, that's what boosts a console, and NSMB was the IT game at the time, flooded with adverts everywhere, of course it was going to sell. Funnily enough though those adverts were the worst to portray Wii and what it does best (motion) like the mario kart wii ads and wii fit ect.

"True Nintendo fans"(whatever that means) already have bough the Wii. You simply decidd to ignore that what pushed me to buy my Wii wsn't the motiom controll gimick. And what makes you think that the best thing the Wii has to offer is a gimick like motiom controls? The year's before ads showed people playing togheter is what the "We" is about, it never was the motiom control gimick.

LOL deary me.
What arnt you getting, I know in an ideal world a large percentage of its userbase is people that have bought the Wii for its Mario core titles ect and not for motion, but you're wrong, at this point it's likely less than gamecube. Wii HAS sold on its motion, if it were a normal console and those ads aired do you think it would have got anywhere? pfft. No.
You can design Wii anyway you like, the only way it was going to take off like it has was having motion controls with it. Stop pretending the world has embraced Nintendo again because of NSMB and ads showing "togetherness"
It was that advert of someone mimicing a bowling ball that got people interested and got people buying.
It seems to me a few Nintendo fans like to stick their head in the sand, completely forget about gamecube and pretend Nintendo made a comeback on the basis of adverts of "togetherness" LOL if only it were that easy to get a 100 million userbase!!!

But are people just buying Wiis for the motiom control gimick? No they aren't. No one buys something just for the tech. They are they buying it for the games, and sometimes, the motiom controls they have. You yourself said "It was that advert of someone mimicing a bowling ball that got people interested and got people buying", but then it was people seeing them playing bowling. Maybe it was because they saw themselves playing it more realistic, but what they saw was the game.
The Wii wouldn't have sold nearly as much if it hadn't Wii Sports, a game with it. Then it would be just "motiom controls" just like you say. And it seems you again ignored that what pushed me to buy my Wii weren't the motiom controls, but the games.
And why do you keep ignoring that on the week NSMB Wii was released on Japan, it had a 200% boost? Nintendo themselves admited that last year's sales weren't as good as the years before because they hadn't a megaton hit like NSMB Wii.
People didn't bough the Gamecube or N64 because they were not interested in their games, and this is the same reason Super Gamecube games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Other M fail and will continue to fail to sell consoles as long as Nintendo keeps releasing them. These are the games only "Nintendo fans" buy.
And why are you calling me a Nintendo fan? I never adressed myself as that unless for the lulz. Before getting my Wii, I had a PS and a PS2. I just completly skipped the N64 and GC because I had no interess in their games (mostly, as some were good for me). I'm not a Nintendo fan, I'm a gaming fan, it just happened to be that the type of games I like the most were on the Wii. Had them been on other console, I would have bough it.
