Doesnt that actually describe anything sold to consumers?

Well... a gimmick tends to be a short lived trend or fad created with the sole purpose of luring a greater market of people, generally who impulse buy. The Wii was made to lure people who dont game. It was created to simplify the process so they are no longer alienated from enjoying games. Sales show it really didnt matter, except for the Wii Fit, Wii Sports and stuff like that. Moms everywhere were going Gaga for Wii fit until Microsoft launched the Kinect. 

But I think it's obvious that Miyamoto was NOT talking about adding a gimmick to F-Zero.  If he were, then I am pretty sure we would have already seen one with the gamepad used (or motion controls with the wiimote).
