Nintendo Land as a concept (Mii based mini-games tied to Nintendo theme park attractions) would've been a huge hit on the Wii 3-4 years ago.

Nintendo was painfully slow to recoginize that the mini-game/casual fad had fizzled out. Aside from the Just Dance craze, which likely has maybe this year before it flickers out as well.

Even Kinect Sports 2 saw a huge drop off from the first one, and Microsoft's attempt to make a Star Wars mini-game-a-thon with the Kinect Star Wars game largely flopped despite them making a hardware bundle for it and positioning it as a major game.
