The market in 2006-2010 was vastly different to the market of 2012 onwards. You can't expect the same strategy to pay off in totally different market situations, that's like expecting a boat to work just as well on land as in the water. Wii was a good read of the market of the mid 2000s, Wii U was a very poor read of the market of the early to mid 2010s.

Yeah it'll never happen again. Even just for novelty people had been using phyiscal buttons for like 30 years, so the initial senstation of using movement for control was completely mind blowing and went againt 30 years of established "rules". 

But today? Meh. Sony has motion controllers. Your phone has motion controllers. The Xbox had a motion camera. Tablets have motion sensors. The Apple TV has motion controls. I think there was a push for a little while for TV remotes to have motion before as well but most manufacturers have kinda backed away from that and just gone back to regular old buttons on remotes. 

I didn't say the Wii explosion would happen again. I just don't think we can assign all the credit for its success to motion controls when we consider the other factors in its favour, like being considerably cheaper than the competition, having highly desirable games like the successor to Ocarina of Time and the return of 2D Mario to home consoles after an 18 year absence, etc.
