Calling gyro a PS thing is hilarious. No one thinks of "infamous waggle" when remembering Wii except for console warriors. Only console warriors spin Wii's legacy into something bad. Motion controls no matter the tech in them are motion controls. Wii us solely responsible for that legacy. We still see them used the same way in Switch games. People try so hard to act like all Wii games used them no matter what. They were used when it made sense in Wii games just like Switch games. Wii Sports and Nintendo Switch Sports, Mario Kart Wii used them to steer just like Mario Kart 8 deluxe. Wii Play and 1,2 Switch uses them. Switch is literally just contuing Wiis legacy. Friend codes and all.

Wii had some fantastic motion controls.

The bigger problem to me is that the majority of Wii games required a Wii Remote, or Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Switch fixed this by having Pro Controller support in almost every game. 

It makes me wonder if in this alternate history Nintendo would still make a Classic Controller a limited option like real life. I'm thinking not since the games would have to be compatible in handheld mode, so forced motion controls wouldn't be a thing. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 156 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
