They don't make many black and white movies these days, does that mean Citizen Kane and Casablanca weren't that good?

terrible argument. those are good movies because they were good movies. Color or not. How much of those black and white movies were actually good? Now how much of those motion control heavy games actual good? Why else did would they stop making them far less than they were a few years ago?

Simple; because of a consumer base so terrified of moving outside their comfort zone that their controller of choice has not evolved since 1997.

The player does not decide a game's primary control scheme, the developers do. You may not use the gyro in Splatoon, but the game is designed with that as the primary method.

 

Yet again you can't own up to your wrongdoing, just gonna ignore it thinking that'll make it go away, and once again you're gonna pretend that 99% of my post doesn't exist, but nope I ain't having that. You probably think it's not relevant to the discussion or something, but um yeah, your credibility and behavior are very relevant to any discussion. How can you have a legitimate discussion when you ignore practically everything the opposition has to say, you outright lie with no remorse, you argue against points the opposition never made, and you continually bring up points the opposition has already addressed? No one should take anyone who repeatedly does some of these things let alone all of them seriously.

Most of Nintendo's Wii U games use motion in their default (and hence primary) control scheme. That is the point. Whether you like them or not or whether you think they're meaningful or the right way to play said game is really quite beside the point.

Given that Justin Beiber and Twilight are popular, the link between quality and success is tenuous at best. :P

Quality in the way you keep using it is utterly irrelevant in a discussion about products/services.  

"Given that Justin Beiber and Twilight are popular, the link between success and popularity of a product is apparent. "

That's the whole point.

Equating popularity to quality, as in argumentum ad populum, is a logical fallacy. Such a view would conclude that if the idea that the world is flat gained popularity, it would become true.
