The N64 didn't sell as well as the PS NOT because the analog stick failed at sustaining the console. The PS had added analog sticks way before the N64 began to falter.
However, you suggest people are buying the Wii for motion control. This is technically incorrect. They are buying it for the games. The games utilize a new control input just as the N64 and DS did and both carried the control method on the strength of the games, not just the "novelty of the controller".
You're "novelty" angle would work if Wii only had one game. Then I could see how the novelty of that game would begin to lose appeal but because the Wii, like the N64 and DS, will continue to gain new games that utilize the input method, the novel affect can't wear off. How does a novelty wear off when it continually receives new product?
