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

motion controls were a fad. If not, people would have moved on to the kinect. Given the kinect's removal from the xbox one, motion control is no longer what it used to be. AKA a fad

Kinect sold 24 million in a little over 2 years, it was extremely popular, people just didn't feel the need to spend another $500 for Kinect 2.0 just a couple years later.

Wii sold a ridiculous amount. Kinect sold a much smaller amount. Kinect 2.0 sold the smallest. The wii came first, the kinect came second, the 2.0 came last. 

You could say they don't want to spend more for the next iteration, but in reality, we are just seeing the downward trend that occurs at the end of a fad. Otherwise, the kinect 2.0 and the playstation move would be selling ridiculous numbers. This is also why wii sports hd sold a pathetic amount compared to its predecessor.
