Wii was a miracle, I don't even remember how Nintendo managed to make so much buzz back when the thing launched. It's like everyone and their monkey was talking about it.


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.
