Not really, the sixaxis was terrible for throwing grenades in Uncharted or balancing across beams in Mirror's Edge. While not 1:1 accurate, the original Wii remote worked as intended in Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart for motion controls plus the IR pointer controls were awesome from the get-go.

Mario Galaxy didnt really use motion, it was mostly pointer and flick of the wrist. really basic stuff. Wii Sports? the boxing section would have a word with you. Maril Kart controls sucked. Any dancing game controls sucked. Star Wars Force Unleashed controls sucked. Red Steel controls sucked. Pretty much anything that wasnt pointing sucked. Bully was good though.

Galaxy used tilt controls for the ball rolling and stingray racing segments, and they worked very well.

The problems with the sixaxis were (A) the way you held it made any motion outside of basic tilting extremely awkward compared to the Wiimote, and (B) it lacked an IR pointer.

Any motion controlled gameplay on Sixaxis you could do just as well or better with the Wiimote, while you simply couldn't do stuff like Metroid Prime 3 with Sixaxis.
