I include esports because (and this will answer you first comment) a console maker will really focus on one control scheme for the generation. Don't get me wrong, I would love having multiple options. But including both control schemes to a consoles box either increases the cost by $50 or the console maker takes big loses. It simply won't happen (As exhibited by the kinect 2.0 drop from the xbox one). A platform holder must focus on one control scheme.

 

Not when that control scheme is a seperate product as is the case for Wii (Gamecube/Classic Controller) and Wii U (Wiimotes). While motion controls should never be mandatory over superior traditional controls, there's no harm having them as an option for the few who like them. I half expect the NX to be compatible with the Wii U Gamepad/Pro Controller and Wiimotes since there's not really a reason not to. If people really want to play Mario Kart with a Wii Wheel, let em!

I never said remove them as an option. I said remove them from being the focus. Xbox still has the Kinect, Playstation still has the move. But Playstation and Xbox both focus on traditional controls
