Where are motion controls now? exactly, im seeing a lot of "the controls are good if they were implemented right" That was the problem alot of them were NOT implemented right. Hell IMHO the wiimote itself wasnt implemented right.

VR. Splatoon. Breath of the Wild. To name just a few.

Argumentum ad populum is a poor judge of quality.

They've seriously scaled back, or perhaps all but dropped, motion controls for the NX version of Zelda, and there will be no second screen antics either according to Aonuma.

Motion controls never had a serious impact on traditional gaming, PS Move and Kinect were fads and no one has cared about the Wii-mote for ages, as for the Gamepad; it is possibly the most universally hated main controller ever released for a mainstream system and it's horribly under-utilized, even by Nintendo themselves.

Motion controls are not a factor in modern gaming, not at all, so the question is perfectly valid. Heck, MS removed Kinect like I said they would from the start, due to the serious lack of interest and incentive both for consumers and developers alike.
