I wish Nintendo would stop trying to break new ground with hardware innovation, and reinvent the wheel so to speak. Just focus on what you do best, GAMES.

They probably think (like most others) that the Wii success was because of the motion controls, but one only needs to look at the success (or lack thereof) of the Move to realize that's not the case. The Wii was successful because it brought gaming back to its roots of pure, arcade style gameplay, that is easy to pick up and play for anyone. The motion controls were merely a means to an end, not the end itself.


yeah because we know how motion gaming was always around back in the arcade days. And way to go comparing a console to a addon, terrible comparison. 

Uh, considering I JUST said that motion controls were NOT the reason for the Wii success, what relevence does this point make? If anything, you helped to prove my point..

Look at the most successful Wii games.. Mario Kart, NSMB, Wii Sports, Wii Play, SSBB. All share characteristics with arcade games, short burst, lots of action, fast reaction time, limited cutscenes, easy control schemes, easy to pick up and play. THESE are the types of games that sell, and by association, also sell consoles. This is the root of Wii's success. There's no great secret to it.

What's the difference if Move was an addon? It was still a motion controller, that was supposed to sell games, as well as consoles.

I know what you said, and what you said is wrong. YOu think WiiSports would have doen as well if you played it with a regular controller? YOu think WiiFit would have been possible? All those games you listed have always done well. and the newer ones were sold ON the motion controls. Do you think WIi would have done as well if it was NOT a motion control machine? Look how well WIi U is doing.
