Because a big chunk (60% approx??) of the people who bought the wii were casual gamers when the Wii was the big fad. Now the iphone is the latest fad and has tonnes of cheap/free games to keep kids/ casual gamers entertained. I see kids/casual gamers playing iphone/ipad games the whole time everywhere I go. 
 

fad 

noun
a temporary fashion, notion, manner of conduct, etc., especially one followed enthusiastically by a group.

 

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's a fad. Especially, when it doesn't even threaten your manhood.

Eacxtly, thanks for clearing it up for everybody. The wii was a temporary fashion for the casual gamer. Cool story but I have a wii and an iphone and i can tell you that the Iphone is currently the "COOL" thing to have, just like the Wii was. 

And why can't WiiU become the "cool" thing to have after its release?

Because it doesn't have a USP like the Wii had. The Wii was so popular for two things: Motion controls and Wii Sports. The Wii U has neither the "go to game" or a completely new way of controling the game.
