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.

What if Nintendo wants to continue experimenting gameplay with the type of tech such as HD Rumble and such? They are experimenters for pete's sake. They want to try different gameplay experiences with different uses of the controller. They've done it for decades. From ROB, to The Super Scope, from playing multiplayer on gamecube using multiple GBAs, to touch screens and motion controls. They don't want to restrict themselves with traditional controls all the time. If you want them to go third party, you would have to reconcile with the possibility of them wanting to experiment with stuff like Kinect, the touch pad on the DS4, the Move, etc.  They're not shy (outside of VR) to try something different.
