Simplicity is a major issue in getting mass appeal, which is why the Wii succeeded and the Wii U has not.
The WiiU could have been an updated more technologically advanced version of the Wii, and it would not have had the same mass appeal. Once they were bored of that machine, they'd had no interest in buying another one.

I think they would have, had Nintendo had the balls to come with a Wii HD/Wii 2 with motion plus and tech on par with the 360 and PS3 after about 2-3 years. But that's a another story.

Either way, doing the same thing twice may not give you the success you got the 1st time no, but that doesn't mean simplicity isn't a key ingredient to mass appeal.
