I think you have the wrong idea of what a gimmick actually is, a gimmick is a unique or quirky special feature that makes something "stand out" from its contemporaries, going by that definition the Blu Ray is a perfect example of a gimmick.
Bolded. That is the definition of what the Wii Mote is. A controller that makes gaming easier for casuals or Kinect which allows you to be the controller. Blu Ray isnt a gimmick is a format.

To be fair, now that the wiimote isn't unique now that Nintendo's competitor's have all produced motion controllers, wouldn't it be unfair to label it a gimmick and not a legitimate control scheme?

Its still a gimmick. Their comtemporaries cashed in on the casualization of gaming. Microsoft did pretty well for themselves as well. That gimmick is keeping them ahead of Sony in sales.

Not according to your definition it isn't. Perhaps you need a different definition of gimmick. I could care less if it makes a system sell better or not.
