Hardcore gamers are often anti-change because the current input options (controllers with two joysticks and the keyboard and mouse combo, not that bizarre motion control nonsense) work just fine. You can not fix what isn't broken. Also, these new control methods typically coincide with two worrying trends. Firstly, in place of genuine gameplay innovation game developers can simply repackage old games for the new controls. Secondly, they always seem to coincide with a great rush of shovelware. As unlikely as these trends are caused by the advent of motion or touch controls instead of the popularity of the platforms that utilize them, there is a stigma attached to them as a result. To speak frankly for a change, I think that these new control schemes suck hard and I hope they disappear from the market altogether and real gameplay innovation returns in full force. Everybody is allowed to have a ridiculous fantasy, even me.
