Why isn't motion controlled gaming still a big deal?

[MikeRox]

Motion controls were always a fad.

At the end of the day, a control pad does the job far too well. It's more accurate, more precise and far more comfortable for prolonged periods of play.

Motion Controls is something that would have been great for the arcades, if they still really existed.

Don't get me wrong, there are some games that are amazing thanks to well thought out motion controls. But overall, most people I don't think want to constantly mess around and have to stand up in their front room to play properly. I'll always have fun with the Sports games though.
