I think 'too quickly' really depends on the target audience. For 'serious' gamers the Wii might be a letdown because it had too few games that they liked. For the 'casual' gamers, however, the Wii might have been well worth buying even for just one or two games (or possibly even just the bundled Wii Sports), and they might not even feel the need now to upgrade to a newer console. The distinction is perhaps a bit like the difference between a laptop and a tablet. I have a Mac and feel seriously bummed out and somewhat pissed at Apple about the new MacBook Pros, both in price and specs. However, I also have an iPad Mini 2 and felt absolutely no desire or need to update to newer iPads largely because I use it more 'casually', and specs and new features don't matter as much. I'd say Nintendo's audience for the Wii in particular was the 'casual gamer'. So they optimized for that. Apple has both a professional and casual audience, and I think the whole kerfuffle about the new MacBook Pros is a primarily a consequence of that.
