While I agree that VR includes much more than motion controls, I think you make a false point about the timing. If X is inspired by Y to do something new, it often still takes X many years to accomplish it. In that sense it is no surprise, I that motion inputs and gyro headsets in VR came years after the motion control thing died. It is the other way around: if something like this came only a year or two after the Wii, I would say it is NOT inspired by Wii, as development of these things take years and it therefore had to be in development already. Only a more carbon copy thing with slight improvements, like the PS move controller, can be developed so fast. That by the way also means I don't think Kinect was inspired by the Wii, as it is certainly from the basics a different idea. Microsoft only took game implementations in the direction of the Wii motion games, as they saw the success of the Wii-
