Most people aren't fans of companies, they are fans of games. When Nintendo offered consoles that redefined gaming for millions of people, they found success. Things like NES & Wii changed the way people played games and offered new game concepts that hadn't been used before.

The NES really didn't offer a "new way to play". Over time actually the gimmicks that Nintendo had to initially shove into the system like R.O.B. and the Zapper were barely/rarely used. People just wanted the meat and potatoes gameplay with the standard NES game pad. 

The foundation the NES established still continues today even in platforms like the PS4. The Wii motion gaming craze meanwhile is pretty much all but dead in under 10 years. One was a fad, the other wasn't.

Yes it did, u say standard NES game pad as if it was a standard controller for the time. Pre-NES, standard controllers looked like the Atari 5200/IntelleVision/ColecoVision controller. And it's not just about controllers, it's also about the games, Super Mario Bros was a massive leap from earlier platform games like Pitfall and were there games that played like Zelda or Metroid before those games released?
