Pretty sure people didnt think Kingdom Hearts was a good idea.Pretty sure people didnt think that 3D was going to work out as well as it did.Pretty sure people thought that the game industry wouldnt work because it was silly.People were more than fine with offline games, then multiplayer games came along and are now considered normal.Most thought Nintendo would fall under with the Wii and the DS.Look at us now, with most consoles having motion controls of some kind(DS4 has a bit of that, and its almost the cornerstone of the PSVR), and many technological devices has some form of touchscreen.
Want more examples outside of gaming?No one thought that cellphones would be so essential to our lifes, but look at them now.The same for the internet.Imagine then the cars, which by the way didnt set the world on fire back when they were invented.
Botom line is, we dont know what we want until it is presented to us.If you are worried about a "tradicional gaming experience", which by the way changed radically over the course of the years, then there is always the PC for that.I personally dont want the industry to stagnate.

3D is terrible and dead, lol.
You are off topic to the initial discussion which was included peripherals as innovation. I am not against innovation just mandatory bundling.
The traditional gaming experience has not changed at all except for great innovations that have progressed it yet kept it the same. It has always been a controller and a monitor. Innovations; graphics enhancements, controller shape, controller triggers, analogue sticks, controller touchpad, wireless controller, rest modes, autosaves, online multiplayer. These sorts of things have made gaming better but it is essentially the same. Yes, have innovation but people are buying these systems for a reason. Peripherals are best kept optional, if they are the future then they will do well as a standalone purchase.

All you described, those enhancements to the gaming experience, were unknowns and gimmicks, as people like to call them.
So handhelds arent a tradicional gaming experience?Because they dont have a controller and a monitor.Well, not as you describe and want anyway.Or the controller, which saw a radical shift throught the decades.Can you say that the controller of today is just an expansion of what we had in the 90s?I mean, the joycons are detachable, have motion sensor and an IR camera, and are night and day in terms of functionality.
I do understand where you are comming from.The problem is that all you listed were innovation and gimmicks at some point.Hell,Many things that we didnt have back in the day is now considered as a standard when you go out to buy a console.Its not considered an acessory or a mandotory bundling.Its just the normal.You dont want "mandatory equipment" forced into your games, but everything we had up until now were forced on us, much like motion controls.And look at us now.How many gamers are left that are complaining that the motion sensors in the Switch are getting in their way to experience a good game?See where I am going with this?
We deem "stupid ideas" those that either dont click with us or those that are poorly executed, but when some such idea turns out to be really good, we just deem, with the passage of time, as something that is normal, something that is tradicional.People are used to have dual analog sticks with every controller now.People are used with Sony pushing for power every generation, even if that dosent mean that will lead to a batter experience.Pretty sure that gamers will expect that the next Nintendo console will be hybrid, because they loved it.If something like VR turns out to be very successful when someone does it right(which by the way nobody did that yet), people will just deem VR normal and will be considered as something tradicional.In another words, its relative.
