Microsoft and Sony need to embrace Tablets for their next-gen consoles

Funny, I see plenty of people playing 360, PS3 and PC games without gimmicky controllers. Hell, half of the worthwhile Wii games ditch the Wii-mote in favor of the classic controller as well. Personally, I really don't want Sony and Microsoft to fouc their efforts on tablet controllers, although Microsoft has already become a bit of a lost cause since the Kinect launched >_<

Microsoft had: Achievements, Kinect, and XBL 

Sony had: Blu-ray/DVD player, eyetoy, and cell processor(I guess)

Each system had gimmicks that extinguished them from other consoles 

 

On topic: It's not a gimmick if everyone does it
