Wii Sports did not hurt the Wii brand at all. Wii U's poor marketing, lack of software the first year, high price, and the confusion which led people to believe it was just an add-on long after it's release is what hurt the brand. An actual Wii-2 which launched with a Wii Sports sequel would have sold fine. If Wii Sports had hurt the Wii then Resort would not have sold half as well as it did.
1-2 Switch looks fine for what it is. The sword-fighting mini-game looks like it could be really fun, the quick-draw mini-game is starting to win me over, and the others look like they could be dumb fun at parties. I honestly think what's happening is that some hardcore gamers are just having a negative reaction to something new. Screenless gaming probably wouldn't work with games like Zelda and Mario, but it could become a thing for party games and even 'visual' novels, based on developer interviews.
