I don't think it takes off because I don't think the gaming world at that time would have accepted it. When the Dreamcast launched in 1999, the parents of that generation's young people still believed that video games were for either young kids or were a complete waste of time. Gaming was not something you did once you grew up and got a life. So had Nintendo launched with a system aimed for them, they would have likely turned a deaf ear. And as for the Dreamcast/PS2 generation of gamers, well... if it was Nintendo, it was immature and kiddy. And if it was immature and kiddy, they weren't buying it (see sales of Gamecube for proof of this), so I just don't think the Wii would have worked out.
