| 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 yet waving a remote around as a racket makes perfect sense to you? Odd...
Anyway, nobody is stopping the Playstation Eye being used with a controller as well. The Wiimote already lacks good buttons.
Also, the Playstation Eye will have a great mic that doesn't require you to hold anything.
