Yes and no. Some of it is fanatism-driven hypocrisy, and some of it is totally sincere displeasement with most controls on Wii.
My case: a PC gamer, I bought a Wii on launch day exactly to play with motion controls, hoping for great applications in RPGs and adventure games. The inability to do 1:1 of the Wiimote and the subsequent use of motion controls in patterns was a let down. And I guess that many felt what I felt, i.e. that what we were promised was more than a button press -> wiimote shaking substitution. Yes, the "waggle" thing...
To me it looks like Sony and MS are going to deliver what I originally looked for, so why shouldn't I like those projects and once again hope for good applications?
Thus, while I indeed see a lot of double standards from certain audiences, please don't go all the way into thinking there are no good reasons to criticize Wii controls as we've known them, and at the same time looking with interest at the new ones from the competitors.
