Has anyone ever thought of this... maybe its a good thing Wii U had a rough first year?

I never said that a wiimote wasnt tangible value-add in, far from it. I am saying by virtue of it always being secondary in the gamers eye and not a successor to the slowly evolving traditional gamer pad leaves it as a gimmick. They will always be searching for some new peripheral to make gaming easier or different from last gen. Nintendo didnt mind that they caught the worlds attention, even if it was just for an instant.

100M gamers voted for the Wii. I'm not sure it is completely secondary, but more that Nintendo abandoned it prematurely.

Hopefully with the rise of the U the motion controls will come back. I already miss them.The traditional controller being enjoyed is like people sticking to retro graphics. Enjoying retro graphics doesn't devaluate the importance of graphics, nor does it devaluate the value-add of more cutting-edge graphics. 500M people downloaded angry birds. I believe that's more than the # of cutting-edge graphics games sold last gen.

but there not voting for the WIi U

The 2nd paragraph makes no sense at all. You can play any genre with traditional controls, thats why their not going anywhere but you cant say the same for motion controls.
