??? Motion controls are inferior to gamepads, get your facts right.

actually, it's an opinion

i, and many others, believe motion controls are superior to gamepads...i think swinging my arm to play tennis is better than pushing a button

i think aiming at a screen is much closer to keyboard/mouse combo than dual analog sticks for fps

etc etc

u can disagree, but lol @ calling it a fact

Sorry but it is a fact that gamepads are better, if you have an opinion that motion controls are better, then thats nice for you but your wrong.

The fact is motion controls aren't even close to being as accurate as a gamepad.

Their is a notiecable lag between your movement and the movement on screen, their isn't with a gamepad.

With motion controls you have to keep your hands very rigded and at a certain level for the sensor bar to pick up what you are doing which is terrible, you don't have to worry about that with a gamepad.

Because motion controls are so inaccurate vital movements you have to make in a game regulary don't get picked up by the sensor bar and your gameplay experence is ruined, this isn't the case with a gamepad.

99% of all games reviewed by professional reviews say the same about motion controls, they complain how bad they are compared to a gamepad.

You can't do everything with motion controls because they are limited. Perfect example is the new smash brothers game coming out. The default controls for that game is a GAMEPAD, not motion controls, if the flagship title from nintendo is setup for use with a gamepad then what does that say about how good motion controls are.

At best simple games with very little skill work well with motion controls, the vast majority of times a gamepad is better. Overall, gamepad > motion controls

 Wrong, motion controls don't have to be precise or lag, free, they aren't about that, they are about accessibility and natural feel, notice how the fighting games market is in decline, its because games are too complex, notice how smash has one of the simpler control schemes and this gen will have an even simpler one with the Wiimote, that is key, even if it meant sacrificing precision and speed, moving to motion is a benefit, because it simplifies gaming and makes it more accessible.
