Yes, for some time and after that they bought smartphones and tablets for their minor gaming"needs". Are you honestly going to look at me with a straight face and tell me that motion controls changed gaming forever, just because an X number of games support them? |
Considering mobile gaming is a huge growth industry and console gaming is an industry in decline, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. The people on sites like these are a minority. The vast majority of gamers - yes, casual, semi-core - are all into motion/touch controls. It has without question revultionized the industry. To the point where every console maker acknowledges the need to include it in their systems.
Gen 8 will be much smaller than Gen 7 due to ongoing casuals / semi-core bleed to Apple/Android devices (and Steambox). Eventually the dedicated console market will be too small to support. MS has already hedged it's bets on this with XboxOne.
Obviously we are not all swinging dualshock 4s around for CoD. But clearly your dualshock 4s are now glowing so if they want to put a physical thrust motion in to pistolwhip people in game, they can and all 3 next-gen systems will support it.
