A lot of people don't like the Wii because of the harm it did to core gamers. It infected beloved consoles like 360 and PS3 and a lot of gimmicky crap followed. Kinect is still not the hard core system it was promised to be; and what about Move? All but forgotten.

I think the Wii's legacy will be forgotten pretty fast.

If anything, the gamepad just proves that they DID miss the point

No, alot of people didnt like Wii because of the games. Im not saying it was all crap but for a lot of people it was mostly crap. ANd it had no affect on PS360 at all. People forget that Sony already had a motion device with eyetoy on PS2 before Wii was even out. THey had another camera for PS3 and that sixaxis nonsense, so they had motion, but never pushed it. Kinect, was never going to be a hard core system, doesnt matter what MS said, anyone who believed that was a fool. ANd they are anything but forgetton, both follow up systems will use those devices.

ALot of gimmicky crap followed? what stores are you going too? PS360 are STILL getting great games that have nothing to do with Move or Kinect. While the WIi's support dwindled some time ago

gamepad proves they didnt, funky controllers sell systems. Problem is the gamepad isnt funky enough. What were they supposed to do, just make a stronger Wii? Thats exactly what they did, Wii U and its games support motion controls.

Good riddance.

What harm are you exactly talking about? Cause I somehow fail to see what you may be talking about. PS360 are just as core as they always were. People didn't like Wii because it's an SD console with previous gen graphics. If anything, it hurt Nintendo in the long run, as it was the console that killed 3rd party support for Nintendo, made core gamers abandon Nintendo and the current Wii U struggles are the result of this.
