The Wii tanked because Nintendo stopped supporting it. It was the lack of support rather than that the "motion control fad wore off". GCN had low sales because Nintendo didn't make a system that differentiated itself enough from the competition. It was superior to the PS2 in graphics but it didn't have a DVD player (back when DVD players were more expensive and semi new to the market). N64 made the analog stick a showcase with Mario 64 and other games (with Sony releasing an analog stick for PS1 controllers shortly after). So GCN had a decent amount of third party support but the hardware didn't have anything to differentiate itself from the competition.
