What a stupid post for a stupid topic. Anyone who calls Wii a fad is clueless. You don't sell 100 million in 6 years on a fad console.DS was a fad. Game Boy was a fad. It'ss clear OP is like many of those out there that want Nintendo to fail and anytime Nintendo has a success it's a fad to their idiotic logic.

It's your logic I'd have to question if you think the Wii wasn't a fad. It clearly was. I don't get why some people think that's an insult or are offended by it or whatever.

Being a fad doesn't even mean it can't still be popular afterwards. Pokemon was a fad, yet is still one of the biggest gaming franchises today, even if it's nowhere near as popular as it was when it was at its peak (the years when it was a fad).

No the whole point of a fad is they don't last long and the popularity is short lived. Beanie Babies were a fad. Tickle Me Elmo was a fad. Fads quickly rise in popularituy and quickly die out. Wii lasted a full Nintendo cycle and sold over 100 million units. Wii like PS2 to a lesser extent still got a new game release in 2017 with Just Dance. That means there was still enough of an audience for that game.
