Who the hell is still playing the original Wii Sports anyway, lol. Let it go, 2006 was a long time ago.

Besides Wii Fit U is a full blown sequel with new mini-games that improves on the original in every way ... and it still sold like crap.

Wii Party U is nothing to write home about either, it just has inflated sales because it's been bundled with basically every Japanese Wii U since last October or so.

Mario & Sonic Olympics flopped on the Wii U also. That's three duds on top of Wii Sports Club bombing.

Motion gaming in general is fizzling out. Kinect Sports on XBox One flopped too and Just Dance declines every year. 

The 100's of thousands of people who bought the original wii sports this year disagree with you.

Motion gaming is not in any way fizzling, after all these years  years though motion games need something new especially when the only mainstream thing showing off motion control games is an 8 year old game. I hardly doubt most of the general consumer know they can use the original wii mote with the wii u, if they did I bet the wii U and the games you mentioned above, when given wii marketing will sell a ton.
