No, I just don't think Nintendo....Innovated anything specifically within the industry when it comes to 'Motion Controls'.
Remember Sony has had similar tech contained with it's Eye Toy years prior and also came out with the Sixaxis (Which while I am aware is not the same as the Wii-mote) has a very similar concept. Sony, however was not willing to come into this generation (Fresh off a successful PS2 Gen) with a $600 dollar console AND a brand new control scheme.
They deserve all the credit in the world for making a gutsy decision, one that went against the grain of the industry and apparently finding a market for it as well. But I don't think they 'innovated' as people like to throw around here.
I don't think they did anything or had something so innovative and ingenius that Sony / Microsoft couldn't have grabbed up and done themselves. The difference is, Sony and Microsoft didn't believe/realize there was nearly as large of a market for it as there has been, otherwise make no mistake about it they would have done it as well.

Sony had similar tech years prior? They only had the ball tracking thingy. Current day PS Move uses accelerometers and a gyroscope, guess who did that first...

I'm not sure...I was under the impression that the Sixaxis has accelerometers and a gyroscope?
The PS3 released November 11th 2006... correct?
The Wii released November 19th 2006?
You tell me?
