Hello? I'm not talking about the quality of motion controls; I'm saying that motion controls are irrelevant in modern and traditonal gaming. See the difference?

The popular = quality argument is one I've battled in here since the dawn of time, no need to explain its use to me.

Arguing against a point never made is also futile, about as much as arguing that popularity indicates quality.

Motion controls are still around. They're not as prevalent as they once were, but at points in gaming you could say the same for all kinds of games. Generally speaking, "traditional" gamers have a comfort zone the size of a matchbox that they would rather amputate their right arm than venture out of. No matter what new things are invented, some people will forever stick to what they're used to.

That's true. When it comes to controllers, I prefer keyboard and mouse before all. I'm more worried about comfort zones regarding game design and gameplay mechanics, to be honest. I can choose a controller scheme if I so wish; but I can't choose how they make their games or how the audience responds to it.
