Nah, the Wii series is definitely a franchise. They all focus on different things but mechanics and philosophy are unified throughout the series. If anything, it's the most successful new franchise of the 7th gen (so far).
My consoles and the fates they suffered:
Atari 7800 (Sold), Intellivision (Thrown out), Gameboy (Lost), Super Nintendo (Stolen), Super Nintendo (2nd copy) (Thrown out by mother), Nintendo 64 (Still own), Super Nintendo (3rd copy) (Still own), Wii (Sold)
A more detailed history appears on my profile.
