...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.

They succesfully introduce them into the industry and the other big 2 tried to do their own versions to emulate the success, now they are gonna be used in VR, Wii was clearly the pioner in the industry, an obscure and unpolished machine that nobody knew is not the cause of the motion control revolution, is the Wii.

But again, motion controls were used in VR for over a decade before the Wii ever came out. Fuck, one of the systems literally came with sensors to clip on your pants to track leg movements. Therefore, using motion controls in VR cannot be attributed to Nintendo or the Wii. It predates them both. Wii or no wii, people would have continued to use motion controls in VR.
