The Wii was a once off fad that people got bored of and moved on.  

No, some of you want to see the wii like a console that sold only to soccer moms that played Wii sorts for a week and they forgot about it, but thats because some of you just dont want to recognise that Nintendo won. I may have to remember you that wii sold: 

-2007: 16.5m
-2008: 24 m
-2009: 21m
-2010: 17m
 

The console was selling like a beast 4 consecutive years, Ps3 and Xb360 never reached those highs in all their lifes, so much for being a "fad", and even when the console went down in 2011, it still sold more than WiiU in all its life, if the interest for the console was so short, then how the hell was selling more than Ps4 even on its 4th year? And how they sold +10 m of units on its lowest year before its succesor? Sounds just like excuses to me.

 

The Wii had a solid hardcore userbase but the majority of it was there for the 3/4 years of motion control fad.  That's gone and you see what's left with the Wii.  About 15m users.  

 

My point is that the Wii in Japan most certainly didn't sell to the minimum of its potential and the ps3 definitely did.  

That is so dumb. How can you know the amount of "dedicated users" the console had? You take a number out of your ass and thats it? Sure the Ps3 and Ps4 have a 100% of dedicated users right? Of course.

 Lets take an exemple, Mario Galaxy 2 was released on Wii lowest year, 2011, it managed to sold 7.5 m of copies, Uncharted 3 was released the same year, and, like Mario in wii, is one of the favourite games of Sony "dedicated userbase", it sold 6.8m. So.... I guess if Wii dedicated userbase was a 15%, Ps3 dedicated userbase must be even lower... following your broken logic of course.
