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.

nobody is saying that, what people are saying is that if they were as good as you are claiming they would be far more relevant today. MS wouldnt have to have moved Kinect. Ninty wouldnt have felt the need to have a system based on a controller with a big screen. There would be another Move, etc.
