Haha, actually analog control was hyped a lot among the gaming community as can be seen by Sony and Sega copying it as fast as they could.

Did analog control die off and go back to d-pads? No. Motion control is doing just fine. It would only be novel if it had a singular use such as a peripheral typically does but this is standard with the console and given that it enhances gameplay, it doesn't have a chance of dying off because that would be like the analog stick going back to the d-pad.

My analogy works perfectly. The matter of sales is irrelevant. You simply cannot accept the Wii as a viable enough platform to sustain itself under the demand it is currently receiving.

Want another analogy? Touch screen. Yep, that died off, didn't it?

Wow dude you might want to look back on my post for I said nothing but my opinion. The reason why people are buying the Wii is because of the motion controls. People do not buy consoles just because the controller has an analog stick or two, there's no novelty there, again your comparison is weak. I mean seriously I bought my PS3/360 for the games but why did I buy the Wii? For the motion controls. If you want to think that I'm taking a company's side on this then go ahead but judging by your post I can tell you think I hate Nintendo. And I do think Nintendo is viable enough  platform to sustain itself under the demand it is currently receiving, because it has the Wii-mote. The N64 brought the Analog to the industry first, who ended that generation with an ass-kicking? Yeah very thought out comparison you got there, but hey whatever.
