1.  We agreed that motion controls are good for bowling and golf games. 
They are a niche market.

2.  You can't say "The wii sold well because it's controls are good". All we can say is "The wii sold well". There are too many factors to determine such as advertising and simply the reason why people bought the wii. My point has not failed. You merely have simplified an incredibly complex process. 

3.  Because motion controls have not done become dominant on the PS3 or Xbox, and have not done well at all on the PC, we can determine from this that current controllers, whether they are a pad or a mouse, are good enough for gaming with motion controls not being competitive enough in terms of pricing and/or what they bring to gaming. 

4.  What do I have to learn? That the best thing to do is to simplify incredibly complex processes? Sorry, I have had a decent education and don't work in the fast-food industry so I know that's the wrong thing to do. Being 36 and unable to see the complexity within the process of buying an item is just alarming. 

1.  We agree that motion controls are good for bowling and golf games.  Check.  They are a niche market, which we also agree with.  Check.  Are you seriously going to make these established statements again?

2.  I wholeheartedly agree that the Wii's sales are attributed to many factors, but saying that the controls had nothing at all to do with its sales is where your point fails.  If you don't think the Wii's controls are good or bring anything new to gaming, that's your opinion, but don't state that as fact.

3.  The point you're not seeing is that motion doesn't have to become dominant to be relevant or beneficial to gaming.

4.  Your profound insecurity shows quite clearly here.  It's not a matter of simplifying a complex process.  It's about reading comprehension, something that doesn't appear to be one of your strong points, which was demonstrated by continually bringing up the "PCs and motion controls" subject when it had already been addressed several times.  However, the fact that you refrain from bringing it up again in your last post suggests that you finally realized this, so perhaps your "decent" education is paying off.
