I'd also say it's not a fad if it was superseded like this. It's not that the wii lost favor, it's generation became out of date, and nintendo was betting on people buying it's new product. Fads usually have an illogical, social reason for their popularity, not a direct spec to spec comparison (Playstation pro beats the wii in popularity at this time (2018)- well duh!) The wii was popular for many reasons, and I'm sure it became "popular" to buy one, but it didn't lose to a social hype dying down, it lost to a new generation of consoles (and it's successor didn't do well in comparison to those)
