If it changed gaming it has a permanent place in gaming. It does not, so its what you call a gimmick. The casuals bought it and went onto the next big thing like they always do. Anytime the media boasts a new and huge trend people go gaga over it use it for ten seconds and then drop it like yesterdays newspaper.

This being a sales website, it would benefit you to do a little digging around in sales figures.

Yes, but I suggest you look up average activity of a Wii user compared to a PS3 and 360 user. They found it had less utility and less time of use even though it sold double at one time compared to its competitors. This is from 2009, and states that even the Gamecube had more usage than the Wii. Sales dont indicate whether people are taking the device seriously, useage does. The Wii U will more than likely have more usage than the Wii because its not as casual a gaming device. The PS3 and 360 were played double what the Wii was being played while being outsold by the Wii double at that time.
