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.

Forgive me if I'm wrong , didn't the PS3  controller have a gyroscope built in I remember using it in Uncharted to balance while crossing fallen trees ,or was that something different ?.

Talking about the Wii as a visionary console the console itself wasn't . The Wiimote takes that crown , more interesting is what would we be saying today if the Wii didn't have the right piece of the puzzle namely Wiisports to show the way and help make  motion control a success, would it still be touted for it's innovation or ignored as a design that had a niche use but  showed little mainstream worth , and like all fallen designs  left with a ray of hope that in the future it would once again be picked up and having it's Wii sport equivalent be hailed as a great innovation . the only difference being success.
