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

To me it's a peripheral just like driving wheels. Why would I use a driving wheel to play a shooter, this makes no sense, then why should we use motion controls to play games not made for it? Dancing games are still fun and so are sports games with motion control.

This is exactly why I said about arcades being the sort of place motion controls *would* have found a home, had they still existed. I really do miss arcades :(

It really is down to suitability. Bowling games. Golf games and such are great fun with motion controls. Football on the otherhand, impossible to replicate. My favourite use of motion control really was FPS. But even then you had to accept less accuracy etc. which ruins gaming from a competition aspect.

Yes and there I thought they would bring the arcades back but they didn't. In huge malls there are arcades but most of them are deserted, in theatres too.
