The Wii U still uses the normal Wiimotes, so the simplified games like Wii Sports, Just Dance and the likes will stay (plus whatever things you can do with the Gamepad, although those will be optional). They will surely decrease in popularity, but if the devs want they can still make those games for the Wii U (Ubisoft already did with Just Dance 4).

I noted that the Wii motes are still factored around Nintendo Land but they are secondary. How many people will reinvest in a wii mote after they sold off their Wii? I say this because the Nielsens stated that the PS3 and 360 had more utility than the Wii hence why the Wii had less user activity even though it at one time sold double what they sold. I am sure about 70% of Wii's were being sold back to gamestop or sold off on Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist. it served its limited purpose and entertained them for a little bit.

@bold Do you have a source of that? Anyway you just have to look at Just Dance 4 Wii sales, the people are still buying those games and as soon as an exclusive Wii U Just Dance comes out all those people who bought a Wii will have all the Wiimotes they need for the new console version. Also keep in mind the Wii U only uses 1 touch controller (with 2 in the future) so the Wiimotes are still necessary for more than 1 player (NSMBU and NintendoLand do it).

70% of the systems being sold on the second hand market has nothing to do with 4-5 million in sales.

My point is that people still buy the dance type games and all of those people will have Wiimotes in their house. You are saying no casual is going to buy a Wii U casual game that uses Wiimotes because people throw away their Wii's (and thus their controllers), which is not exactly true because the game have sold almost 5m units in just 3 months. Or are you expecting 50% of Wii owners to own Just Dance?
