Now I know what you're thinking, my definition of fad must be wrong because the Wii obviously wasn't just a fad. Well the definition of fad is "a temporary fashion, notion, manner of conduct, etc., esp. one followed enthusiastically by a group." It gives absolutely no time frame for what counts as a fad. So even if it lasts a full generation or two of video game consoles I still think it'll be considered a fad in the end.

So by your own definition Christianity, Hinduism, etc are all fads. Fascinating.

Wow I love how you tried to turn a simple post about motion controls to something about religion. If flaming was allowed on this site I'd call you a fucking idiot, but since I'm not allowed to call people fucking idiots, I won't call you a fucking idiot. Seriously get a life. If you disagree with me then say you disagree and you love motion controls, don't go around slanting people's words.

Pop a midol and calm down tough guy. I was just saying there's a problem with your definition of "fad"; by removing the time limit and keeping "manner of conduct" I was pointing out that the definition is far too broad. Hell, speaking English or being of a particular nationality technically falls under your definition of 'fad'.

My thoughts on motion controls are that they're a somewhat primitive intermediate step towards the next level of interactive entertainment, so no I'm not chugging the motion control Kool Aid. Nice personal attack, though.

It's fine and dandy to hate motion controls, but your bizzare definition redefining to such an extreme degree is a pretty desperate attempt to denigrate what all 3 console makers have accepted as the new direction of gaming.

I didn't slant anything, your definition is terribad.

Okay well it was a terribad definition that came straight from dictionary.com but whatever. I was just trying to point out that motion controls are a fad even though they'll survive through this gen and probably into the next gen or two of consoles, while the standard controller will live on.
