Did the Wii influence modern VR?

I wouldn't give them credit for the design. 

I'd give them credit for mainstreaming motion controls but by the time VR came out it wasn't mainstream anymore we'd mostly moved on. Only the Move seems to take clear inspiration from Wii controllers as especially the oculus rift is very different. It's difficult to be like 'well there Nintendo goes again changing the industry' when it's kind of like giving the tyre manufacturers a shit tonne of credit for the innovation in a Tesla vehicle. 

Well, your example hits the nail on the head. The Tesla has a lot of innovations that make it possible, including tires. To give the tire-inventors credit for the Tesla would be foolish. But you instead argue that the Tesla doesn't use a tire at all as the tire hype ebbed up years before the Tesla came out.

No I argue that tesla use the Tyres, but people have gotten over the innovation of high tech tyres and so much more is needed to make a Tesla possible (Like VR) that just pointing out the tyres is silly.
