Why isn't motion controlled gaming still a big deal?

Kinect sold 24 million in a little over 2 years, it was extremely popular, people just didn't feel the need to spend another $500 for Kinect 2.0 just a couple years later.

Wii sold a ridiculous amount. Kinect sold a much smaller amount. Kinect 2.0 sold the smallest. The wii came first, the kinect came second, the 2.0 came last. 

You could say they don't want to spend more for the next iteration, but in reality, we are just seeing the downward trend that occurs at the end of a fad. Otherwise, the kinect 2.0 and the playstation move would be selling ridiculous numbers. This is also why wii sports hd sold a pathetic amount compared to its predecessor.

Kinect sold 24 million from Nov 2010-Feb 2013, Playstation Move sold 15 million from Sept 2010-Dec 2012 and Wii sold 24 million from Sept 2010-March 2013 so over the course of 2-2.5 years motion based devices sold 50+ million.

Basically motion based gaming was still going pretty strong through the end of 2012 and the next-gen version didn't do enough to convince consumers to spend another $300-500 for a new device. Nintendo made so many mistakes with Wii U that u can't simply blame it's sales on people getting bored of motion controls, Xbox One with Kinect 2.0 launched for $500 and released a mere 3 years after the original Kinect.
