GoldenEye 007 probably actually has had a longer lasting impact on the broad console market. You look at the top 10 game sellers to this day and there's still Call of Duty or some other FPS game at the top of the list ... GoldenEye 007 really started home multiplayer FPS as a system selling genre for consoles, before that it wasn't a huge genre outside of the PC which had DOOM.
Wii Sports ... you look at the top selling games of today and there's not a whole lot of influence on anything, even Nintendo's internal offerings have largely ditched waggle controls as the primary control method, going back to just standard controls (this goes for touch controls too) and motion controls are often times these days a secondary option that you can have but not the primary method. Touch control is a funny one because the DS significantly outsold the Wii, but Nintendo barely supports it these days, basically they ceded that almost entirely to smartphones.

Switch Sports and Ring Fit Adventure are both 15+ million sellers and among Switch's best selling games; this kind of game is still very much a thing.

It's a thing but neither of them cracked even the top 10 for Switch sellers, whereas during the Wii era those types of games completed dominated the top sellers.
There also isn't really any big evolution from the Wii Sports/Wii Fit (now Ring Fit), like even since the days of the Wii, the next big thing was supposed to be Wii Music, and that never really took off in a huge way and it sort of felt like after that Nintendo struggled to come up with any kind of big new motion control idea.
