Yes, kinda like how both the Wii U and PS2 were popular.

Motion controls are a key feature of the Switch, which is on track to be one of the most successful systems of all time.

A reach

Motion controls are a minor part of Switch that few games take advange of. I can only think 4 games on Switch that surpassed 1 million sales respecting on Motion controls: Ring Fit, Switch Boxing, arms and 1-2 Switch

And if Anything smartphones are far more linked to DS than Wii's 

Will's impact might be big but it was not lasting. Other companies tried to copy the gimmick and sucked, not even Nintendo is risking making games motion control based anymore because they understand their limited appeal. When they tries to incorporate into in a more traditional game let's say Arms the outcome was at best underwhelming  

The lasting impact of Wii I can think of is popularizing fit and dancing games with motion controls. But dance games always existed and were kind popular already, they just didn't yet resort in motion controls 

Far more than just a "few" Switch games use motion, gyro aiming is practically a standard in Switch shooters all the way from Doom to Overwatch to Fortnite, and some of the biggest games on the system use motion controls as default such as BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Party and Splatoon 2, all of which are btw 10+ million sellers.

*Applauds*

Not to mention the multifaceted controller known as joycon, used in every Switch game, is an evolution of the Wiimote.

The other thing that Wii did was make a definitive statement that power is not the hand that crowns a King, compelling hardware is.

This known from the beginning in the handheld realm thanks to the great mind of Gunpei Yokoi, but seemed an absurd statement in the home console theatre. And while Yokoi likely already knew it was the case, it took the Wii to demonstrate the reality.

As Javi pointed out above, VR is a major platform for motion controls and remote form controllers.

While the motion control feature isn't as heavily used on the Switch as the Wii, the overall volume of the sort of controllers the Wiimote gave rise to is on track to sell in a significantly higher sales volume this generation.

Long live the revolution!
