It is the Wii part that is the problem.

It seems Nintendo and a few die hard fans actually believed the Wii sold because of Nintendo games. Can forgive anyone who only just got into gaming for believing this, but anyone who been around a few gens should have known better, and Nintendo had no excuse.

Motion controls and Wii Fit sold the Wii, owning a Wii sold any other games. Was obvious the Wii userbase wasn't going to buy another console ever so the Wii name being reused serves no purpose except to keep away people who had no interest in the Wii or Nintendos new direction it took with it.

You're really sticking to this line of thinking?

Its hard to really argue with him, aside from the fact that Wii Sports and Wii Fit are both Nintendo games of course.

It was the motion controls combined with Wii Sports that sold Wii's primarily. It was new, easy to play and the console itself was affordable to the mass market. I think its fair to say that Wii Sports alone would have sold Wii's for Months on end even without any other software releasing. Wii Fit expanded that market even more.

Obviously you have the lesser selling titles that will always sell systems like Mario Platformers, Mario Kart, Brawl, Zelda and so on but these games didnt push Nintendo home consoles to 100 Million before Wii and now were once again seeing a struggling Nintendo platform. Wii U abandoned the Wii philosophy of ease of use and affordablity, along with new and fun ways to play. 

I dont think it would be too harsh to say that a lot of Nintendo software sold on Wii was Nintendo software sold as a "me too" title to acompany Wii Sports and Wii Fit. 

His last sentence though I disagree with. The Wii userbase would have gone out and bought a console that was aimed at them. The Wii U isnt that console.
