Go look at 360 vs Wii NPD pre-Kinect and post-Kinect. MS starts to win almost every month. What a magical coincidence don't you think?
There is no king of motion gaming because it's an idea that can be copied. It's like saying Nintendo was the king of brain training ... this is an idea now that has been copied in so many shovelware apps on smartphones and online websites that it's really not special.
Switch won't have this problem though because you can't copy a portable console with a full blown software ecosystem (no half assing it like Vita) as a concept very easily.
Anyone can make a brain training/brain teaser game or a sports compilation with bowling. The Sony bowling one was pretty much as good as the Wii Sports one from what I remember, the tennis was better.

So Nintendo should have made an EyeToy instead of the WiiU? Makes sense.

No they did the correct thing. The reality just is that pre-2010 the Wii was unique and special but after Kinect and Move came out it really wasn't. Just like Brain Training isn't really special anymore because there's like 20 apps on your phone you can get for free that approximate the same thing.
Kinect Sports was relatively fun and polished, so was the Sony one, you can't really say "well only Wii Sports was fun".
I think that had an impact on Wii sales for sure. Why buy two systems if you really don't have to.
You can't really stop other companies from copying such ideas eventually though and having their own polished product, it's simply a matter of spending money.
