The problem with WMP has less to do with complexity and more to do with the fact that video game characters cannot and should not be limited to doing only what the player is capable of. There isn't a single person on these boards, who is, for example, as skilled with a sword as Link needs to be. Put 1:1 into a Zelda game, and either you have to dumb it down severely or everybody dies.
Expressive gestures are far superior: figure out what the player wants and then have the onscreen character do it properly. But the fanboys want 1:1, and they're going to get their wish. I'm just looking forward to all the 180-degree spins that will happen when Wii Sports Resort comes out, all the 1:1 fanboys get a chance to actually use what they've been asking for all this time, and they suddenly realize just how badly it works in practice as a game interface.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
