Very astute and I agree completely except for the controller. It's hard not to accept that the Wiimote is eaiser to learn and more intuitive to use than those analog controllers that I think make it like learning to play a piccolo. And that is one important reason that the hardcore dislike and despise them.
Groups like that do not want it easy for interlopers to be involved. Professions often use language or equipment to make it harder for outsiders to elbow their way in. I was a professional photographer when automatic exposure was developed. It was bitterly resisted and disliked because it meant that the rankest amateur could get just as good exposures as the professional without running around with a handheld meter. We also had our special language and terminology that marked the "hardcore" photographer even though many terms were totally obslete and useless.
