Of course, the Wii is absolutely inseparable from its impact and identity; motion controls, Wii sports and casual gaming. In legacy discussions about the console, some propose that the console's success was merely a fad, suggesting that the widespread, casual appeal was a flash in the pan with "non-gamers" drawn in by Wii sports and family fun but not sticking with the console for its core titles. This would imply that the 101 million figure is inflated, and not representative of its actual main userbase, in contrast to systems that appealed purely or mostly on their libraries.

I don't think that means it's inflated at all.

It had a casual focus but that library of games still sold the console at the time. So it's not inflated and still important.

The core gaming market isn't the only one that matters.
