As I said, technically true, but as I also said, not what people are really thinking of when someone says motion controls.
And yes, they probably have, but the games you mentioned (that I bolded in your post) go back to Sixaxis as standard controller with gyro, not really Wii.

When people hear motion controls they think of  controlling the game through movement, nobody thinks "oh but that gyro stuff is a totally different thing".

And those games actually go back to Splatoon, that was the game that popularized gyro aiming as it exists on Switch today, not Sixaxis.

Because games, even first party Sony exclusives, with gyro aiming didn't exist on PS platforms way before that?

Unfortunately, at this point all that is left for me to say is - sure, mate.

They existed, but that's not the origin of what we see now on Switch. Gyro aiming on Switch got its kickstart with BOTW and Splatoon 2 in year 1, both of which inherited it from Splatoon 1, which popularized this method with the Nintendo audience.

There was gyro aiming before that, much like there were motion controls before the Wii, but these earlier ventures didn't directly create what we have now, just like not every early hominid is the ancestor of modern humans.

But the onscreen benchmarks are useless for the fast GPUs which can render the sequence much faster than 60 fps but are v-sync-limited by the 60 Hz displays.

Another advantage of the offscreen benchmarks is that they are benched all in the same resolution (in this case 1280x720, other GFXBenchmarks like T-Rex up to 1080p and Aztec up to 4K), no matter the different native resolutions of the displays.

I also doubt 2GB of RAM would have happened, Nintendo originally wanted 1GB of RAM for the *Switch*, lol, go look up the Nintendo NX leaked documents, it was supposed to have a 480p screen + 1GB of RAM total.

People are lucky they didn't go with that crap Eriksson chipset + 1GB RAM.

I don't think Vita level hardware would look very good on a TV either circa 2012, even Miyamoto said HD is important, by 2011/12 everyone and their grandma (literally) had a HDTV ... to have a "console" that only outputs at like 540p (sub HD resolution) would be another blow against it.

The concept just wasn't ready for prime time in 2011/2012. Mobile chip tech just wasn't there yet. The console side experience especially would've been quite underwhelming.

The other thing is it would have likely cost $250-$300 with mostly the 3DS library ... and take a gander at how the 3DS was selling at $250.

It basically would be a more powerful version of the 3DS with TV output, but I suppose minus the 3D screen quite probably. The Tegra 3 was still a very new chip circa November 2011. 

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.

I still have my Wii hooked up. PS3 not so much.

Calling gyro aiming a Wii thing is beyond hilarious.

It's certain that the perception would be different, but that's because there are plenty of people who don't understand business properly. I mean, there are even people who believe that the PS3 was successful, because the only thing they look at is unit sales. Also, in our reality it has been repeatedly brought up that Switch, despite all its success, will fall far short of the combined DS+Wii unit sales. But this line of argument doesn't work against Switch when the sales of software units is in the same ballpark as DS+Wii combined and Nintendo's profits are also in the same league. The logical conclusion here is that much of the decline in hardware units was caused by the elimination of the need to buy two separate systems.

Regarding third party support, it's probable that there would have been more multiplatform games, but at the same time doubtful that that would have moved the needle much for either system, because the number of big third party sellers that the actual 3DS and Vita got was pretty small.

And the major other point regarding perception of success would be the elimination of Sony from the handheld market. So in the hypothetical scenario we would be looking at something like half as many Switch units sold as DS+Wii combined, but with a bright future outlook for third party support. Not only because of the lack of a Sony handheld, but also because third parties as a whole were realizing that smartphone gaming doesn't work as replacement for handheld gaming.
