Back in 2006 just one company found motion control practical, while everybody else was skeptical about it just like you.

I predict hologram gaming by 2016! Quote me!

You're lumping some very different technologies into the same basket. Motion control requires some extra microchips in a controller, ultrasonic feedback requires arrays of ultrasonic projectors to be mounted on ceilings and walls. Perhaps a single ultrasonic projector mounted on a turret which tracks the user could be viable, but it's still a lot of components for relatively little gain.

As for holographic video, it's already here if you install the right hardware on your PC. It's simply a matter of whether (or when) it can be made cheap enough and convenient enough to be integrated into home consoles.
