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). |
I think it's just people who like to downplay motion controls by pointing out the fact that they didn't take the place of standard controllers. I'd say that most of us never thought they would do that.
The most telling example of this is apparent in the very first "Nintendo Revolution" controller reveal trailer from late 2005. You see people using it as a tennis racket, baseball bat, etc. But once it gets to the girl that's flicking it upward to the sounds of Mario jumping, that's where most of us were like, hey, that's not going to work well for that.
They'll never take the place of a controller, but as they improve they'll likely be a part of gaming from here on out.
