What do you prefer - pushing buttons or moving around as a controller?

Technically, yes. But I'm thinking more about flailing about in a cramped office or bedroom space, pointing various nicknacks at a tiny (compared to TV's) screen and knocking shit over.

It's a good thing I've never had to "flail" and knock crap over while playing my Wii games other than golf.

 

(you would think by now that this concept of having to "flail" while playing motion controled games would be dead)

Jesus christ... I was making an example and never mentioned Wii games once in my post. I have played a lot of Wii games myself and I know you don't have to flail about, it does, however, require a lot more space than pressing buttons on a keyboard and moving the mouse. I just can't see any good reason to implement it on PC with the (usual) cramped space, small screen and overall unsuited nature of the gaming platform itself.

It extends to the future PSWand and Natal. I don't have any other motion controlled games, hence why I stated Wii. I also don't know any other motion controlled devices for PC. I didn't take it as Wii trolling at all, just seems to be a misconception with motion controls and is commonly repeated. I don't know what your space is like, but all but my golf/sports & fitness games could easily be played sitting at my PC. (obviously multiplayer would be tough )
