Do you honestly think there will be a console that is incredibly popular as the Wii, but uses the same exact gimmick? If so, how naive. Even the original Wii didn't keep gamers captivated. It's appeal lasted only ~3 years. People stopped buying it and people who had it stopped buying its games, hence it having to crawl to 100M (when people thought it would match/beat PS2) and having the lowest tie ratio of that gen. Face it, motion control was a gimmick and people are getting tired of them. If the failures of Wii U and the XBO+Kinect don't prove that, then I guess you'll continue to be lost on trends and the way the market is moving.

And yea, Wii Sports was popular, but at the height of the Wii's success. It also allowed you to look at your character onscreen. Again, the point of a VIDEO game.

Cool story, but the Move is still an irrelevant piece of optional hardware with no support and Nintendo ditching consoles to make PS4 Move games is a stupid idea :)

And Wii Sports is what made the Wii popular. Highly doubtful 1,2 Switch has the same impact, but it looks fun. Fun > looking at the screen, lol.

Well, glad it looks fun to you.  But, I highly doubt it will be successful.  Not with the ads I've seen for it.  Eating a hamburger?  Counting balls?  Only thing remotely interesting about it is the quickdraw, but most people are still going to rather play a video game on TV.  Even with the Wii, Nintendo knew this.  And definitely not $350 worth of content there.

As for Move, maybe you are missing my point.  Wouldn't be the first time.  I just said that MOTION CONTROLS ARE A GIMMICK AND PEOPLE ARE GETTING TIRED OF GIMMICKS.  Again, look at the failure of Wii U and Kinect for evidence. How does that translate to I want Nintendo to make Move games.  I'm just saying if they HAVE to make motion control games, there are options.  Personally, and I think most would agree (especially before the reveal), they just want Nintendo to make good games that don't force gimmicks into them.  Something they can definitely do as a 3d party.
