Your dislike of the Wii's legacy is running away with you a bit; all I said was there's clearly value in making blue ocean software. Nobody is advocating they make these games their focus. You don't need to downplay so hard.

The odd fitness game here and there is fine, when it becomes the focus and the fad bubble bursts, that's when you end up with things like the Wii U and 3DS launch window (that was supposed to be carried by Nintendogs + cats) disaster. 

The Switch is a much stronger platform because it doesn't need to rely on that consumer at all. 

All I'm saying is that not being dependent on blue ocean games doesn't mean they're not still a valuable addition.

The combination of low cost and potentially huge payoff means that making them once a year or so as they do on Switch is just good business.
