Argumentum ad populum would have us believe that Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey are great books.

So in other words, Argumentum ad populum would have us believe that the wii was a great console. /s

The popularity of something just means it was popular or well liked but with products, that's all that matters. Popularity typically translates directly into sales for the one who made the product or who owns it. Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey sold well. To the fans of the books, they're great but greatness is entirely subject and a moot point. 

"Motion controls are bad because they're not the popular method today" is argumentum ad populum, and argumentum ad populum is a logical fallacy.
