Nintendo Land is not Wii U's Wii Sports

When the Wii was released, most people involved with videogames, including people who post on forums like this, thought the Wiimote was a pointless gimmick and the Wii wasn't going to do anything.  Looking back, people were proven to be very wrong.  In no way, shape, or form, am I going to try to predict what Nintendoland is or is not, in regards to the minds of the public.

I think we're more educated on the matter than we were back then, and Trucks' OP is pretty logical and free of bias (he's pro-Nintendo).

Most of the people saying it was a gimmick still today call it a gimmick, or few have realized the importance of motion gaming after all. But those people also call the WiiU a gimmick, and none of them are here this far, so you don't need to worry about that. The past happened, we are better now and we move on.

Being educated isn't the point here.  Being educated can mean having more informed biases.  If you said "more open-minded" would be more inclined to agree.  As of now, I am just saying I can't say here.  I personally don't get the same "that looks like fun" buzz I got out of seeing the Wii (I just had to try boxing, golf and tennis), but I do see potential for the Wii U opening up new gameplay.  I could also see maybe it won't do as much.  I don't speak to bias here, just I think I am not sure what will happen, nor I am sure anyone can predict other things either.
