Wii Sports' lasting legacies were motion controls, which remain a thing to this day, and helping popularise "casual" software that appeals to an audience beyond the traditional "gamer" crowd, which makes up a huge portion of the market today.

I get motion controls still exist, but I am not convinced they are often used.  The top selling games seem to have none (or little) motion controls.  either way, I think Wii Sports had an impact, it just wouldn't make the top 10 from Nintendo (for me).  I think the convenience of the Switch decimates anything the Wii did.  

The majority of Nintendo's games still feature them, and they're on by default in most of the best selling first party games on Switch; BOTW, TOTK, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2/3, Super Mario Party, Switch Sports, Ring Fit Adventure, Luigi's Mansion 3.

I couldn't find much data from more recently, but in the original Splatoon, 75% of players played with motion controls: https://gamesbeat.com/around-75-of-splatoon-players-use-the-gyroscope-control-method/
