| shams said: I think they will all have some form of motion control (they may do so BEFORE the next-generation..). The real question I think is the SHAPE of the controller. I love the Wiimote "feeling" like a remote - I think this is the real key behind the success of the Wii. If the Wiimote was shaped like a GC controller/wavebird, non-gamers still wouldn't touch it. Will MS/Sony have the gall (balls?) to dump their established controller shapes, and go with something simpler like the Wiimote? ... I don't think the "camera" solution works that well re: games (i.e. eyetoy). Its great for certain types of games, but this is a much smaller subset that the Wiimote has. Plus one of the nice things about the Wiimote, is the way they made it easy to plug peripherals in. Camera: - no buttons Imagine playing WiiSports Tennis - without holding the tennis racket. I would feel like an idiot... :P

and you dont swinging a chunk of plastic around? I feel like an idiot playing any game on the Wii. Not saying that its not fun but you do look stupid. Also the PS Eye has a (actually 4)microphone(s), does the WiiMote have one no?
I cant find the link but there was this one camera game that was demoed, they used a fighting game, it was based on motion and sound to do attacks. Like the ultamite attack you basically swung your arms around while screaming to charge up and then the guy kicked his opponent across the whole map into the ocean/lake area. It was funny as hell but looked fun.
