so, would anyone care to admit, then, that the success of the Wii was a "fad" (I don't care if the sales sustained for a while) insofar as a lot more people bought it for the motion controls, and not so much the Nintendo games themselves? "Capturing lightning in a bottle" as some would say, regarding the runaway success of motion controls.
If it was bought for the Nintendo games, it would have sold like the WiiU now, and the GC and N64 before it, because people bought those systems for the Nintendo games as well (considering their respective 3rd party support was pretty poor as well, compared to the competition). And Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, etc. haven't blown up between generations like Modern Warfare blew up the CoD franchise from a 2M seller to a 25M+ seller, for example, so I don't think you can say a game like Mario Galaxy helped the Wii sell 100M
