Sony and Microsoft are softening up the hardcore gamers to the idea of motion control. Because the Wii is SD and doesn't include the values they esteem, nobody from the hardcore gaming audience would even take a fair look at the Wii's values. Of course this is also because they were still basic, and not evolved.
Sony and Microsoft were drawn to the motion controls not only because it seemed attractive, but because they thought Nintendo was in a weak position right now. This is an illusion.
What this battle will do is force both Microsoft and Sony to bring hardcore gaming into motion controls. Nintendo will up the bar and cross many franchises into a new paradigm, maybe even challenging their competitors if they need to. At some point Nintendo will cross the point of good enough, and flip the tables on both Sony and Microsoft. By that time motion controls will be entirely legit with the old market.
RE5 already gave us a hint of that. It's not gonna happen overnight, but this is the perfect opporunity for Nintendo to finally complete their disruption. And everyone will be happy in the end I assure you.
