If there's a console without IR / motion sensing, it'll probably be crushed. Nintendo is the most likely candidate to take the lead of next gen, which will lead to third party support - if there's a console that cannot handle ports from the system, that can only be bad news. 50+% of the market (will) have adopted motion sensing, why block them all out by staying last-gen?
I think it'd be almost as crazy as a PSP2 without a touch screen. Imagine that? What would even be the point of upgrading... right now my dream console is a Wii HD, I can't see hardware upgrades beyond PS360's power doing that much for me.
Personally I'd like the change, the Wiimote is easily my favorite controller so far. It'll only be improved upon from here on out (as the NES was). RIP (traditional) gamepads!
