If consoles go motion control standard next-gen, why are you going PC?

Actually, that's not true. There are many games that use the Wii remote but not the IR bar, including several in Wii Sports.

Oh well, hardly ruins the argument. Nintendo did include it for a reason after all.

Actually, in point of fact, none of the games in the original Wii Sports use the pointer functionality. The original showcase for motion controls didn't use IR sensing at all.

It's perfectly viable to design games without the IR pointer. You need it to interface with the Wii's OS more than anything else.

Indeed, but would you honestly tell me that the Wii would be better off without it?

I'm not questioning that none-IR games aren't viable or doable, they are, but in todays standard of gaming, some genres of games are not viable without that extra control provided by either an analogue stick or something with a similar degree of control (point in case, the IR pointer)
