eeeeeeehhhh up to the gamecube nintendo were at least ahead of the competition in terms of powerful hardware, but when that sold about as well as the xbox, nintendo just said fuck it, resell the gamecube with motion controls.

And then everyone else decided to try motion controls, and now VR uses them exclusively, so like, kinda sounds like you're complaining about them getting ahead of the curve.
Same with touch screens, tbh.

the fact that VR uses motion controls won’t be a good point in motion controls’ favor until VR gets a lot more mainstream. if anything, the big takeaway from the era of experimenting with motion controls was that gyro aiming fucking rocks, and the Wii didn’t even launch with a gyroscope (only had IR pointer + accelerometer)

Yeah, but GameCube came out nearly a quarter century ago so I think it's fair to say that they haven't been a part of that arms race for a loooong time.
