Yep, motion control was a gimmick because it had little relevance/use.  Forget all the old people and non gamers that actually could play on a home video game console again without being ass raped by a shitload of buttons.  Wii U gamepad ability to play certain games, stream Netflix, etc on just the gamepad while others use the TV is a gimmick.  Who on earth would ever run into a situation in benefiting from that?  Keep using the word gimmick because you don't have a valid argument.

I did also use the term revolutionary, but just ignore that aspect of my post in order to better suit your argument. lmfao

Do you have a PC or laptop or tablet or phone? Can you not stream netflix on those devices? It's a gimmick. You're a sucker.
