Similarly, some games and genres will simply continue to be better controlled by a traditional controller, or by something else. PS-She has correctly identified the most common issue; buttons. If a game requires lots of unique actions with tons of different button presses, something that has a ton of buttons will obviously be better than the Wii Remote.

Did you see my post above or maybe it's in the previous page? I listed basically 12 points of input with the Wii controller, while taking away buttons 1 and 2. How many buttons do you need?

 Then Wii controls > PS3 controls, why?

GC controller + Wiimote + Nunchuck + Balance Board + Classic controller.

We are only talking about main controls here I think.

For what type of game? For Wii Sports? 2-3. For MMOs? I personally have 49 keys bound on my keyboard for WoW right now.

Can we just limit this to default console controls? I am getting tired of arguing over this keyboard and mouse thing. It's irrelevant.

 No, we cannot. You realize we basically agree, correct? I don't see what the problem is here.

Too many people looking for a pointless fight.

Dammit Bod...I know we agree.... and where's my love letter?

The point I am trying to make is that people are saying that the Wii controller has too few buttons and is an inadequate controller for "traditional" games, and I am saying otherwise.
