| Carl2291 said: Okay. We're at a stalemate here and we're moving away from the original point ¬_¬ My point is. The Motion Controls of the Wii are no way a secondary reason for Wii's success. Not a chance. No way. No. Wii Sports would not have been the same game without Motion Controls. It would not have gone on to be the most important game this generation without the Motion. Wii Sports needed the Motion just as much as the Motion needed Wii Sports. Price - That's a whole different point that I'm not going into. |
Just remember, people always always always buy a console for one purpose, and one purpose only. To play GAMES. Wii is not exempt from this rule just because it has motion controls. You can say people wanted to try motion controls.. Ok, fine. But what exactly are people using these motion controls for? You guessed it, to play GAMES.
Did motion controls in Wii Sports add an entirely new appeal and fresh/intuitive way to play the game? Absolutely. But had the GAME itself Wii Sports been broken/boring/poorly made, it would not have succeeded the way it did. This cannot be denied.
If motion controls were such a key factor in a game's/console's success, games like Zack and Wiki and Red Steel 2 that rely heavilly on motion controls wouldn't have flopped in sales.
