Motion controls are fairly well integrated into everything from consoles like the Switch, to mobile, and VR.
Additionally, someone up above claimed the Wii didn’t last as long as the SNES. This is false, the two consoles were actually very close, but the Wii enjoyed slightly more long term success. It peaked in sales during its third year (SNES in its second) and tailed out a little longer, with Wii selling 4 million units in its 7th year and SNES only 1 million (or about 2% of SNES’s total sales in year 7 versus about 4% of Wii’s).
NES isn’t a valid comparison of an example of a successful strategy due to it being an unusual situation. Two of the major markets (Japan and US) had a lack of competition for years due to their video game industry collapses, but in countries where it DID have competition it only lasted 2-4 years.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
