The Wiimote is dead for a bad reason. That reason is the Wii U. The Wii U is dead for a good reason. It killed the Wiimote.

I mean, Nintendo had their most successful home console and the next thing they did was a radical change to the controller. It has been said before, but what Nintendo did would be the equivalent of Apple stopping production of the iPhone and making phones like they were before the iPhone.

The Wiimote died before the Wii U. The Wii U died because it was the Wii U.

Nintendo also had their most embarrassing sales fall with the Wii. It wasn't sustainable. Nobody likes the Wiimote anymore. Nintendo did the equivalent of Activision stopping production of Guitar Hero games after people stopped buying them. And then making the Wii U. There's no real proper analogy to that.
