You are having a difficult time realizing your claim that the tablet market will dry up is you applying your own point of view to everyone else
You're doing the same thing.
The thing that should clue you in that you are woefully wrong here is the phenomenal success of the iPad.
If the sales number are the only indicator of the success, then yes, the iPad is a success and so is Wii.
You seem to think people are just being suckered in by the hype and will end up agreeing with your nerd sensibilities, leaving the market to wither.
Nerd? Are you jumping to conclusions? Should I call your sensibilities "jock sensibilities"? Perhaps you're a nerd who thinks by praising iPad you can distance yourself from your nerdly past? And you're projecting this psychological flaw onto everyone you meet?
And yes, I do think people are suckered by the hype. In Wii's case people are also suckered by nostalgia. (How many adults have a warm glowy feelings about Nintendo based on their childhood Mario memories?) I think that hype actually works is a fact. Sad, but true.
Reality is people are highly satisfied with their iPads.
Really? How do you know this?
Reality is they enjoy playing games on them.
People play minefield to pass time at work. That doesn't mean they enjoy playing minefield.
Reality is most people aren't nerds, and it's almost solely nerds who seem to think iPads are no good.
Define "nerd". I have no idea what you're talking about. I am not from USA, btw. I didn't grow up with a nerd concept in my country of origin. Nerd-idea is purely an American thing. I've learned that Nerds and Jocks are supposed to be opposites. That's as far as my knowledge goes. So explain it.
