Change #10 to motion controls are the future: It was not

Is that why next-gen systems are still utilizing them?

Exactly. It'd be silly to think that motion controls were going to completely replace standard controllers; it's just not practical. They have their place where they are superior (bowling, golf, dance games, etc) but most of us could see that, like touch controls, they were simply going to exist side by side with standard controllers, which they will.

OT: Probably the worst prediction I've made that I can think of pertains to the WiiU; I predicted it would have an install base of 18m by the end of this year... we'll be lucky if it has half of that.


Just wondering, did that many people honestly think that motion controls would ACTUALLY replace standard controls?  I mean, saying they are the future doesn't have to mean it would be the new standard to control everything... just that it would still have an integral part of gaming (such as the touch screen on handheld devices).
