Did the Wii Wasted its Potential With Motion Control?

Only so much you can do with motion controls.

FPS games are garbage with motion controls IMO. Its cool on sports games like boxing, golf, and tennis though.

FPS games with Wiimote+nunchuck is better than regular dual analog controller in my opinion.  Being able to aim with the Wiimote and control your movement with the nunchuck is almost as good as the keyboard+mouse combo for FPS.  I have played WaW, BO, and Goldeneye on the Wii.  While I had some issues with Goldeneye (seems too sensitive even when trying to tinker with the control options), I believe WaW and BO had the Wiimote+nunchuck control scheme down to almost perfection.  Sure some people used the CCP for BO but I pretty much ran shop on HC modes with the Wiimote+nunchuck (near top 100 all time for HCTDM and HCHQ in BO).  To me the being able to point at the screen and shoot beats fiddling around with analog sticks any day.  I am to the point where I say fuck dual analog for FPS because I know there are better controller options available for the genre.  Sorry I know you are talking about motion controls but I am just trying to point out the better control options with the Wiimote+nunchuck.

this, i wasnt a believer till i played KZ3 with MOve, then i went back to GE, which i played with CC, played around with the control scheme and now i dont use CC for it anymore

Maybe I just need to try one of the better FPS games like KZ3 on motion controls then to change my opinion. I forget what FPS's I have played via motion controls but the ones I have were shovelware anyways so that probably didn't help my view of motion aiming in FPS games.
