Relatively easy, the people thought it was a fun novelty gimmick and bought it to satisfy their urges to play games in a simple manner. The Wii U is trying to battle with the Xbox 360 and PS3 which are a different and more stable crowd. The Wii was a hot ticket mass market item that had massive casual appeal.

It was never a gimmick, it was a revolution of an idea. Peoples' minds were blown with the applications this had. Nobody in the mainstream called it a gimmick, nobody.

Not really....it just made gaming simple. Why do you think the Kinect had appeal? You're thinking too hard into what Nintendo did.
