They are but if you simplify things, they aren't. Most games today aren't simplified. The Wii made it simple so everyone could enjoy it and thats why it sold like gangbusters. The problem with the Wii is that it went so casual that it alienated the core gamers who might have been interested in the Wii.

I completely agree with what your saying. As for being a fad, his analogy doesn't work, all consoles would have to be a fad. In decline? That's a different argument since tech is always changing now that you can game on pretty much anything with a screen, there's a lot more choices now.
