Does Nintendo require VR/AR to remain relevant...?

Motion control isnt anywhere near as big as it was, if it was that important Ninty wouldnt have dropped it. Kinect would still be around and Sony would have moved on with Move. Touch screen pretty sure phones and tablets have more to do with that. 

Yes they did great last gen. what about now?

The Wii U gamepad has motion controls, many games still use the Wii Remote, phones/tablets utilize motion controls, PSVR/Oculus/Vive all use motion controls.

Phones/Tablets use touch controls which account for billions of devices.

Pretty much every post-Wii/DS device with gaming as a feature utlizes motion controls, touch controls or both.

The Wii U flopped so people clearly didnt care enough to return for 2nds,  we dont know how well VR will do, but lets be real the selling point for those arent the motion controls. phones and tablets would have used that tech regardless. We're not gonna act like Ninty was responsible for those devices using that tech especially since it existed before the Wii anyway.

Again Ninty had little to do with that as those devices were already heading in that touch direction.
