People, specfically core gamers disliked the Wii because it was a touch more powerful than the original XBOX.... and it was a significant generation behind in tech compared to the PS3/X360. Nintendo core guys that wanted the same quality or better Call of Duty games or Assassin's creed games were out of luck that generation because of the technology gap. Also nintendo was a lot more interested in selling games that appealed to the casual market like WII MUSIC, WII SPORTS RESORT, and WII FIT. Which is okay, but they lost their market to tablets and smartphone games that offered a similar experience on the go and cheaper. To add Nintendo has been consistently flicking off their core gaming audience, which has caused a decline in that demographic for them. As a small scale example, this site used to be 90% nintendo fans, now it's like 70% sony fandom. There is a positive side tho, 3DS is an example of nintendo doing things correctly, but even that thing pales in comparison to the PS4s level of support from 3rd parties. 

 

Nintendo consoles need to go back to being 3RD party machines, if the switch was on par with the XONE, or a touch under it, that would be okay, since current gen games could be ported to it at a 720P resolution, which would be somewhat okay with an on the go experiece. Unfortunately with smartphone screens commonly being QHD now... people are going to notice a better picture quality on their phones that their high end gaming device, which is not good as the mobile market continues to eat the handheld gaming market .... we'll see what happens.....

Considering the core audience is a casual gamer that plays Fifa and CoD just because they are popular, there's really no point in your comment on core gamers disliking the Wii. Moreso, as half of PS360 owners had Wii aswell, back in the day Wii was still selling.

Wii Music do not really fit the list with Wii Fit and WSR, as it was your typical industry game. It should've been a more simple game, like Guitar Hero is, in order to be interesting.

Actually, the first Nintendo consoles that were "3rd party machines" were DS and Wii. It's easy to see the paradox when bitching about the Wii at the same time saying there should be 3rd party friendly Nintendo console. 

Considering the mobile devices offer you virtually endless single player online experience, that's the opposite to Wii, I'd say it's the Xbox and Playstation audience it's been eating away and not the Wii, especially when PS4 Pro was made to defend the PS4 market and Sonys handheld market have been pretty much dead. Looking at the games on Wii U, it's easy to see why the Wii audience isn't there: there are no games that would appeal the Wii audience/Nintendo fan. If you bought the Wii, not even the Wii U Virtual Console is going to get you to Wii U.
