I have a Wii and I love Nintendo games so don't think I'm insulting Nintendo or the Wii, but yes, the Wii's success can be attributed to a none gamer fad. Soccer Moms and Grandparents, who aren't gamers, bought the Wii and will probably never buy another console again. They were never gamers and they still aren't gamers. They played some Wii Fit and some Wii Sports and they aren't interested in anything more. The Kinect has had a similar fad effect. None gamers thought the idea of waving their hands around would be fun with their family. Like the Wii their family probably had a kid or two in it that also wanted to play some real games, but other than that it's a fad. The Wii sold to real gamers in the same amount that any Nintendo console has, the reason it did so well was that none gamers bought into the hype. Take away those none gamers who never bought a console before and will never buy another one and you'd have a Gamecube or N64 level of success.

wow you must know everyone who bought a wii.. or is there another site that you go to that shows exactly what each wii owner does and does not do? I mean you even know they will never buy another console ever.. grandparents buying consoles are understandable they will only ever need one and I doubt theres 50 millions of these who bought a wii (perhaps 1 -2 per nursing home is enough)... but soccer moms who bought their kids a wii.. and to say will never buy them another console when their kids ask for something new?.. amazing knowledge man..
since you seem to call majority of wii owners 'none gamers' ..what is your definition of gamers? think before you answer
