I barely played Splatoon so I don't really remember having much of an opinion on the gyro controls for that but for BOTW they were... serviceable for me, I suppose.  But I can't really imagine using them as the primary aiming/navigation control method in something like Prime 4.  Maybe if they implement them really well like you mentioned, I'll give them a shot again.  Guess we'll find out, since we obviously won't have IR pointer controls anymore. 

Yeah even with gyro, Prime 4 is gonna inevitably feel like a step down from 3/Trilogy in terms of control. :(

Speaking of motion controls and the PS3, it did have Move I suppose, which was put to use in games like Killzone 3 and Resistance 3. That is another point in its favour versus the Gamecube for me.

Perhaps, but the Gamecube had the Wavebird, which completely blew me away at the time and pretty much set the standard for today's wireless controllers.  I remember joking with my friends about the Xbox vs the Gamecube in a mock conversation:

Microsoft:  "The Xbox features 9ft long cords for its controllers!"

Nintendo:  "Oh yeah?..."
