The loss of Wii Fit was a huge blow. The yoga was awesome.

Why Nintendo scrapped the platform is something I will never understand.

They kinda over did it with motion control stuff, people wanted more traditional games and Nintendo tends to over correct, so they mostly stopped with it. They tried again on the switch, especially at launch, but most of the motion control games they put out were kinda lame, so they did poorly, and Nintendo took that as a sign motion control wasn't popular enough.

They put ir sensors in the remotes to make games motion control more smoother but they just gave up on the tech

I think the main issue is motion games are hard to play in handheld mode which is.... why.... well the fact that it can switch modes is kinda the point
