I am amazed how much the Wii gets ignored in the console wars.

If you people want to argue about the Wii go right ahead. But, for me, mainstream games are not interesting. I just can't get excited over wii sports. Every single game on the Wii that I might like (RPGs only pretty much, all the on rails FPS games on the Wii are shit) would have been done equally as good or better on the PS360. No argument I've seen has be able to prove otherwise, least of all those that talk about motion controls.

If motion controls are what it takes for gaming to go 'mainstream' thats fine, great even. Nintendo deserves props for once again showing how to get to number 1, both in handhelds and consoles.

But if you think that 'HD' gamers should bow down to the Wii and talk about it like its interesting, you're just as delusional as those who ignore the fact that the Nintendo now dominates the video game market. 

You do realize that the HD gamers will "bow to the Wii" when they pick up Natal or PS3 Gem? Basically, thats MS and Sony's way of conceeding defeat to Nintendo's concept of controls. Just sayin

No, we won't. First of all, it's not Nintendo's concept, unless by concept you mean mainstream non-precise wand based motion control. Second, motion controls predate the Wii, in fact both SONY and Nintendo had previous motion controls. Third, both SONY and MS version of motion controls are basically non-mainstream, meaning they will most likely still not be competition for the Wii. Fourth, and this is my sincere hope, both HD-twins versions of motion controls will not be the primary way to control games. The dualshock 3/4 and the X360/720 controller will still be the primary way to play games, as it should be.

If by chance all games end up with motion control a sizable chunk of the market will walk away. I can guarantee it.
