I generally don't want my games to simulate real life, so that's probably why that idea isn't important to me. Also, for driving like in real life, that's what the Wii Wheel is for! It's a better replication of real driving since you actually use your hands to turn a steering wheel, whereas you don't use your hands to accelerate/brake.

Surely you see the advantages of going from the snes pad to analogue sticks and triggers.  I was amazed at the level of control improvement going from the snes to n64 for games like pilotwings it allowed much better positioning in that 3D world.  I don't know if your just being defensive for Nintendo or simply like more simplistic controls but I don't think you represent the majority.
