Pretty much. Who really cares about trying to prove who is the most innovative? What's the point? A little ego stroking for something the fans had nothing to do with? Nintendo revolutionized the standard controller and it has been improved upon many times since. Sony revolutionized dual analog stick controls and they've been improved upon many times since. Microsoft set the standard for online play and everyone followed.
What's important is where a product is right now.
It also has to be noted that actual innovations are very rare and are not the same as "buy this because it's different" gimmicks. Innovation leaves an indelible mark on an industry that spans generations. The more a market matures, the less innovations there are to be discovered--except those that can only come about because of technological progression. Anyone who really wants innovation should stop pretending that it will come about because "power" stops being important.

Well, then Wii clearly was innovative, not only sold 100m to a blue ocen but also created the concept than now is gonna be heavily used in VR for years :D Oh and also in Switch, an inminent succes :)
Good old Wii, someday it will remember as what it really was, a visionary console.

...People don't actually believe that Nitendo was the first to do gyroscopic controllers, do they? They have been used in stupidly expensive, highly complicated VR systems that predate the Wii by a decade. If anything, Nintendo might have been inspired by them. Just check out Viruality for an idea of what I'm talking about.
