The thing is there's a game for everyone on the Wii, action adventure your thing? Zelda, Okami.  Like shooters? Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and Call of Duty WaW both with controls you can't get on a normal console.  Third person shooter? Resident Evil 4.  Light gun?  Medal of Honor Heroes 2, House of the Dead 2&3 and soon Overkill. Action game?  Mad World, No More Heroes, Bully.  Platformer? Mario Galaxy, De Blob. Fighting? Smash Bros Brawl, Mortal Kombat, Castlevania Judgement, Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Puzzle? Boom Blox.  Racing?  Mario Kart, Excite Truck.  Sports? Mario Strikers, PES 2008 with unique Wii controls that are not "waggle" it impoves gameplay, Tiger Woods, MLB Power Pros, Madden 2009.  Party? LOL.  

Really man what more do you want?  There's a huge list of games right there, and most don't "waggle", see waggle was made by developers that don't want to go through the trouble of making unique Wii controls, but the guys that put forth the effort to make games that typically control better then any traditional dual analog game.  So please refrain from saying Wii adds nothing but waggle... it's trolling... as I just gave a list of games and many don't "waggle"... They use motion controls to improve the games not replace a button press with a motion...

OT:  BTW there already is a PS3 motion controller, there's a thread on it, it had a video of it hitting a ball around a room with a paddle, playing baseball, etc.  So kinda it's a good idea of what you could get with next gen to go along with frybreads question.

Why is it so hard to understand that cutting edge graphics and physics and AI are important to a lot of people? Or that some people just want a conventional controller with the Dual Analogs?

Give up the crusade. Some people just don't enjoy the experiences on the Wii after the novelty of Wii Sports wears off. I don't begrudge anyone that, and I wouldn't waste my time trying to change anybody's mind. Exhibit A in this discussion should be how badly SIXAXIS and games built around it were received, and how quick Sony was to backpeddle from it.

Nintendo can have their Blue Ocean, somebody still needs to cater to the core.

 

Don't worry he works at gamestop, he doesn't know that no means. hes used to forcing his opinion on people

@ OP: I would buy it if it had the same third party support that the HD consoles have right now, though i'm not a fan of motion controls, it's about the games, not the consoles.

 

I don't have a "crusade" there's a reason I own every console except for the 360 (for which I just use my friends most of the time) I love games, it's my hobby and I enjoy it, I don't see how it's so hard for "hardcore", "core", "HD gamers", "fan (or fanboy) of _____ (company)" or w/e you want to call yourself now a days, can't enjoy a good game no matter the platform it's on. 

Just a couple of points to counter your argument.

• Wii has proven it can use many of the same physics and AI engines that are commonly used in PS360 games.
• Many games support the Gamecube and classic controller for those people that want a nice traditional dual analog game.
• Some games use motion controls as a novelty much like the motion games that have come out in the past and had died out, but core titles use the motion and IR to make things better for the gamer, as things like The Force Unleashed on Wii could get gamers more into the action as you controlled your swings and it wasn't "waggle"
• Sony back peddled from Sixaxis cause the gyroscope put into the controller was a cheap tack on to try to counter the Wii remote, once games tried to build around it and bombed due to it they backed away and apparently now there's a Sony "Wiimote" in the works that works much like a Wii remote with the motion plus attachment, the only thing is it will still lack IR support.

I was making a list of good games for the Wii cause Esa was trolling... motion and IR controls are not a gimmick... some companies like to think so and make games that reflect that idea but the good core titles use controls to improve gameplay, much like Capcom did with Resident Evil 4 on the Wii, you had it on GC and PS2 both with traditional controls but with Wii they improved things with making it so you can aim faster and with more accuracy.

@Ari I have no idea what having a job during college has to do with anything, funny thing is, MakingMusic (one of the most beloved mods on this site) works at Gamestop too I guess that makes him a pushy gaming bigot too...

PS: There are companies that cater to the core, Capcom, SEGA, and Nintendo say hi :)
