I don't think it was a fad, because it had a normal life as a console (would you consider CDs or DVDs as a fad?). If Wii was a fad, then every past console were fads. Wii had a lasting effect on gaming, fads don't had long term effects.

Oh, fyi, the 'boy band' thing has been around for decades.


The Wii did not have a lasting effect on gaming. It was a fleeting love affair that never created real gamers. It was a petty trinket that the non-gamers used to pass the time and the throw away. If the Wii created an Army the Wii U wouldnt be in the predicament that its in. The Xbox One and the PS4 will sell just fine because their userbases are stable gamers, not uncertain like the crowd Nintendo made. They are only good for fleeting profit, not long lasting profit.
