Touchscreens and mice turned out to be game changers instead of fads, because they proved to be immediate and reliable ways of input.

Voice and motion commands do have the potential to be aswell, but I feel the technology just isn't quite there yet, because even if those work 90% of the time it's not enough. They have to be extremely reliable, because these types of commands aren't repeatable anywhere near as quickly as the press of a button.

When navigating menus that might not matter too much, but in a game that's crucial.

Personally I'm a huge fan of body motion based games since the first Dance Dance Revolution that's why I'm aware how extremely frustrating it is if you feel your input device is buggy.


SSOOOOOOO not true at all..... mouse were laughed at when they first came around, and touch took years to be mainstream and accepted.... but like voice control I agree with you it still has to grow into something more natural and accurate to use effcicently

Did i say these techs were an instant success? Touchscreens were around for decades, but the first time it really clicked with customers afaik was with the iPhone.
