MS releasing motion controls would have no effect on the Nintendo marketshare. Every game on the Wii library requires motion controls because that's the only control input available. If MS made motion controls, all the games released from their launch until now would not be compatible and you would be relying on the userbase to go out and purchase a peripheral to play those sorts of games in the future.
Optional peripherals have never been able to catch on with any significant sales. If you'll recall, there have been several consoles already (including the 360 and PS3) that have released a camera peripheral that actually functions in a way not completely dissimilar from motion control, but none of those have ever been adopted in any numbers worth mentioning.
Game developers won't risk the money necessary to develop a good game using motion controls (or a camera, for that matter) if they can't be certain how many people will even be able to play it.
