Well, they appear to have hit the part of the market that wants more barriers to entry instead of fewer. The Darwin/Newton will clearly deliver on that, seeing as it's basically transplanted the already-overcomplicated 360 controller into an odd linked-remote format. I guess that's something, though it's certainly not as significant as getting the crowd that wants an easier entry point into gaming.
A brief history lesson is in order, I think. Back in the day, Atari took the market by storm and introduced the simple Atari controller: 1 joystick, 1 button. Their competition responded with controllers that had 10+ buttons and more advanced joysticks. Atari still held the market majority throughout the era in spite of that. The moral of the story is: more is not better, user-friendliness is better.
