(Wii) If motion controls would even exist?
XaviX Port, Wii sports console 2 years before the Wii. One of many motion controllers before the Wii.
Nintendo combined motion controls with Apple style marketing and look and got a hit.

Most game changing, probably the ps1. Going with cheap cds instead of expensive to produce cartridges made console gaming a lot more affordable, and also more profitable for 3rd parties.


Don't forget the Power Glove. Which was basically a PS Move for the NES 20 years in advance before the PS Move, and 15 years before WiiMote.

Yup I just mentioned a recent console fully built on motion control. The trick with the Wii wasn't so much motion control as it was accesibility and marketing. Just like the one button mouse to control your Apple OS, the wii mote simplified gaming, getting new people to try out games.
MS copied that strategy with their version of controller free motion gaming, Kinect was far from the first either. However since then the casuals discovered angry birds and candy crush. Even easier than messing around with a console.
