The whole grannies-and-party-games is what I meant, though. The Wii itself is no longer the fad it used to be, but it created a different marketing plan for consoles and prompted Sony and Microsoft to hitch their wagon to the motion control star, which, as you said, they would have probably done eventually anyway.
But saying that the Wii is dead is kinda silly. I guess this view is prompted by how the PS3, for example, seems to have only really gotten off the ground a couple years ago (or at least so it seems to me; I don't know any actual figures) and is working under an alleged ten-year plan, while the Wii has practically reached the saturation point. Couple this with the fact that it's no longer the Big Thing it used to be, and how it's seen as a gimmick, and you can see why everyone would be clamoring for something new, despite how the PS3 and 360 feel like they're here to stay.
