Nobody in the industry gave motion control a real chance.

Nintendo's implementation of the Wii controller was brilliant, aside from initial lack of precision, which was later addressed with Motion+.

It gave gamers the possibility to properly play FPS games (which wasn't a function of motion controls, but the pointing function), and potential for decent implementation of strategy games.

Wii controller was hands-down the best control option in the last generation, move and kinect included.

But I guess the change was too radical for the hardcore gamers.
