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 U created an Army the Wii U wouldnt be in the predicament that its in.

thank you, 100 million sold, yet nobody shows up to buy its successer, sounds like a fad, unless none of those buyers enjoyed there wii, i live in florida you always here people talking about ps4/xbone, nobody ever talks about the wiiu.

So, motion gaming doesn't count? I was not talking about WiiU, a successor doesn't hav to be it's only effect.
|
motion controls are a fad, sony got the memo, microsoft didn't, even the wiiu its just a tacked on gimmick, which nintendo games are using motion controls in a meaningful way on wiiu, take a guess.

Why is Sony still using the Camera and Move for their PS4 then? You guys just pick and choose whatever you like to support your nonsense argument. All that money they spent on R&D on the move and camera and they just plan to drop support? That will surely piss whatever remaining investors they have. Lets see who goes third party first.

Nobody is saying there isn't a market for motion controls or camera capablities, what we're saying is majority of hard core gamers do not care about that. Look at the kinect for example, that single device has pissed off so many hardcore microsoft loyal fans because they do not care about the device/feature yet it is being shoved down their throat.
Lets face it the industry/consumers is/are becoming full of graphic whores whether we want to believe it or not, graphics matter. If nintendo want's to compete with sony and microsoft in the future they are going to have to bolster their hardware because hard core gamers like to play their multiplats on the console that is going to give them the best looking game. The years of "Graphics don't matter" are dwindling very fast and if nintendo doesn't catch up they are going to be left behind.
Kids of our generation who grew up playing great games without spectacular visuals are getting older or retiring from gaming while the new generation are being raised on 1080p 60 frame per second type games and they're never going back. (battlefield 4)(killzone)(forza)
