Punch me then. Wii had some really great titles, but in terms of hardware it was an absolute garbage. Essentially Gamecube with motion controls, which (especially pre motion+) were not that good in the first place and nothing, but distraction, once the novelty wore off. I still remember the immense disappointment, when I figured that full swing with wiimotes has the same effect as flick of the wrist. For all moms and grannies it wasn't the issue, but when we were forced to use this rubbish in Skyward Sword, I lost it, but being a loyal fanboy I stuck with it. Once the casuals moved to mobile market, we were left with hugly divided core community. From all my friends, who all once were Nintendo fans, I was the only one who tried to defend Wii (aka I didn't sell it) and actually bought the Wii U. Pretty much all of them moved on to PC or Sony/MS consoles and didn't touch any Nintendo home console for a decade (and I can't blame them). Despite being a commercial success, in my opinion, Wii did more damage than good and Wii U sales reflected just that.
