Motion control, which I have been a defender of (this post was more like Microsoft trying to steal thunder than anything else), provides a way to have people naturally interface with a videogame, without needing to memorize controls. You have people do what comes naturally, and the game responds. Of course, not everything should be shoehorned into motion control. Nintendo has learned with the Wii to not do that, but they do use it in places where it is a fit.
Again here, the idea is to cut the learning curve and get people up to speed in a hurry. Being "Core" and demanding it go away, isn't an answer (let alone right answer). And to say it will "dumb down" a game I believe is also off base.
