@ ironman - I'm gonna stop quoting because we now have a fairly imposing wall of text between us. I hope you still read this despite the lack of orange text.
Customers are still buying the consoles in decent numbers, true. But the release of next gen hardware will cut down on that to a large degree. The 3DS is getting incredible 3rd party support from what we've heard so far, certainly more than the DS in term of hardcore games aimed at the 18 year old male market. Where the developers go, the gamers will too. Like it or not, handhelds and consoles are a part of the same market.
It is true that Kinect has been marketed more than Move, although I still think we should wait before assuming it will be huge. As for the argument of 'games will eventually come to Kinect/Move that will sell hardware'. I have yet to see either an increase in 3rd party support for the PS360 as a result of these controllers, nor have I even seen any games that look likely to push lots of hardware. I could be wrong, completely misinterpreting the idea of move and kinect, and the degree to which they will be supported this generation, but I doubt it.
The 360 had already been in development for a long time when Nvidia stopped making the parts for the xbox. I am under the impression that Nvidia's move came without much warning for MS, and thus they can't have changed their plans too much when it occurred.
It's purely subjective whether motion controls add to or subtract from a game or genre, but it seems the majority have spoken, and the word is motion.
