Yep. Thats what I'm always saying.
And the numbers a supporting us: Wii Sports Resort is the third best selling Nintendo title on the Wii. Only Wii Sports and Mario Kart Wii sold more and Mario Kart just sold a few millions more.
What this means is clear: when a Motion Control title released YEARS after the first motion control title sells rougly half - motion contorl CAN NOT BE A FAD.
Instead there were MILLIONS of gamers looking at Nintendo what the Wii U will offer to THEM. And Nintendo revealed the GamePad. And no hint if and how the unbeatable WiiMote/Nunchuck control scheme will be used in future games.
Releasing Wii Sports Club so late was a BIG mistake. Not promoting it big made the situation only worse.
There is only ONE way for Nintendo to get the Wii U numbers up: get the attention of those Wii gamers which bought the Wii because of its motion controls.
If only one third (!) of those Wii Sports Resort buyers will "upgrade" to a Wii U - Nintendos problems are gone..
