On the contrary, Nintendo is credited for the Wiimote, because it was a selling factor, it had huge impact on the gameplay, and a lot of people liked it. But especially at the very beginning of the Wii, when I saw tennis from Wii Sport, what I was seeing was not innovation, but the simplistic Konami's ping pong on 8 bits sold again by the power of advertising on casuals : simplistic graphics, simplistic gameplay. Not to blame the Wii, the Wiimote, or Nintendo, just to say how far you are from directly improving gameplay is irrevelant.

whoah now the wii remote was used well in plenty of games. forum dwellers might not have enjoyed motion controls but they were definately gameplay improving in some circumstances.

I quote myself : "especially at the very beginning of the Wii". It got a lot of better game that are far from a konami's ping pong, and some game were fun thanks to the wiimote.
As an innovation in gaming, did it become a standard, did it become the base for next controllers, did it prove it was better or necessary for any major genre, the answer is probably no. The wiimote is dead. On the contrary, optical drives became a standard, and were usefull and necessary for better games. So, what I want to say is that an optical drive can have as much impact as (or more than) a new controller, and then be an innovation in gaming.
