if the WiiU had taken on the motion-control games instead of neglecting them. Only because some idiots who think their needs are all said 'motion-control was a hype' and so on. Clearly millions are still into that, they only have no games.

The WiiU had Wii Sports, it had Wii Party, it had Wii Fit & Just Dance. It had all the games that appealed to and drew in the casual userbase on the Wii. The reason it didn't work is those casual players were more then happy to just stick with the system they already had. 

Motion-Controls appeals mostly to casual/non-traditional gamers. A demographic less willing to spend large amounts on new systems and with less of a desire to have the newest and best.

"I already have Wii Sports, Wii Fit and Just Dance. Why would I spend £200 on a new box?"

It's a hard demographic for a video game platform to tap into initially, and it's an even harder demographic to convince that what they already have isn't enough.
