Because gamers were getting stigmatized and games were becoming stale. Without the Wii, gaming would have not been nearly as popular now. The Wii made video gamers go from "those nerds in the basement killing prostitutes for money in GTA" to your mother, grandpa and aunt having fun. Not saying its true (obviously it's not), but that's the perception.
The Wii isn't a hit now but its audience has moved on to smartphones - in fact, smartphone gaming is the biggest threat to consoles today. We need a Wii today more than ever.
The Wii was a revolution. A revolution Nintendo dropped for some reason after 4 years.
