Sony's and MS's flaws with motion controls, is that they think its just about motion, but the motion isn't the issue, its just a way of making the Wii more accessible and natural, its the games that make Wii attractive to the downmarket, the downmarket isn't looking for games to suck them in, they are looking for games that they can play a little and put down, games that they can use to interact and play socially, games that fit into their life, Sony seems to be trying to bring the motion to the upmarket, problem is, if the upmarket wanted motion o badly, they'd already be on the WIi, the upmarket isn't going to be extremely receptive to the wand and NATAL and this is where Sony and MS will run into trouble.
