You mean the car travel thing? I'd respond to that by asking when are people likely to use their 3DS in their car? I'd assume the answer would most likely be on long journeys. Now, when people travel on long journeys by car, they tend not to stick to minor bumpy roads, they take the motorway/freeway/whatever the hell you want to call it. Motorways are typically long, straight roads with very few turns, if any at all (like those long, vast highways in America), and certainly very few sharp turns.

I'd suggest that those kind of car journeys wouldn't cause too much of a problem for gyroscopic controls.

And how long would a long journey be exactly? I'd imagine alot of people would use their handheld for gaming on a 40 minute drive, a journey which certainly doesn't have to happen on long stretches of straight road. It goes for busses as well. I used to take the bus to school, which was a good 30 minute drive, I could certainly have used a good handheld on those boring trips.

Motion controls also don't play well with the 3D because of the tight viewing angle, meaning if developers decide to use it as a main control method, they might as well not make the game 3D.
