4- For good reason - the Wii sold fastest to casuals and not gamers. And that is why third party games sold poorly on it. It was a fad that did not last as long as the generation.

Incorrect. 

The Wii lasted 6 years. That is a normal, healthy console lifespan. A fad would have been two or three years.

The Wii's success lasted hyped success lasted four years (2006-2010). Once the Kinect came out the casual hype moved over to MS for two years (2010-2012). 

LOL, so the  16 million Wiis sold since 2010 magically don't count?

What the hell are you talking about? 2010 was the last year the Wii recorded a profit, of course that wouldn't be what I am talking about.
