Modern controllers -are- way too complicated. Your ability to use a 360 controller has nothing to do with you being smarter than anybody else - we can use modern controllers because we grew up with simpler controllers and were eased into them. I would imagine that most of us have spent a great deal of time using controllers without dual analog control. We were eased into things with the single stick on the N64 controller and early shooters like Goldeneye. But give someone new to gaming a 360 controller and Halo 3 and watch as they spin in circles while shooting at the ground.

Interfacing via two analog joysticks is a very, very difficult task for someone who hasn't had, at the very least, months of practice. The best thing that the Wiimote brings to the table is one fewer stick.
