The retirement of the traditional controller

All (yes, every single one available) motion controllers are gimmicks. If gaming resorts to pure motion controls or forcing me to use motion at all, I will stop gaming. Or I'll play classics and classics only. This is why I don't like the Wii. I don't like being forced...give me an option to use it, and I will when I play tennis or boxing. Otherwise, keep your crappy controls to yourself!

gim⋅mick

–noun

1. an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratgem, esp. one designed to attract attention or increase appeal.

^  I guess you're right.

 

Btw... the Wii does give you the option to use it.  You also have the option to use a gamecube controller or the classic controller.   This is the natural evolution of gaming.  If you don't change you will be left behind and I hope you don't abandon your hobby out of stubbornness.  In an industry like this things are going to change.  Controls have been the same for a very long time and without change the industry will become stagnant.  This is long overdue and I hope you're prepared.
