Forget Wii Bingo we need VGCharts Bingo where every time one of the beaten-to-death threads is posted again you get a square.

We could have this Wii Head Tracking demo, "OMG PS3 undertracked in France!", vote for your favorite user, MGS to 360 confirmed, GT is biased, MGS to 360 debunked, OMG why is _____ banned?!?!, etc.....

I hope it gets posted 10 more times. The more it's seen and shown to be wanted, the better chance it has of becoming a game.

Already done but doesn't sell that well on PC with hardcore gamers so don't expect it on consoles anytime soon.
Here is demos of PC games already using TrackIR.

this is pretty cool but the limit to one person is a flaw. Maybe with split screen multiplayer would be possable?

It work best when you need a third controller like for a flight sim. (right hand joystick , left on the keyboard/throttle then TrackIr to move your view) I found FPS are often too fast pace to bother with TrackIR. (there is one on the PC) Racing is ok but not necessary.

I would highly recommend heading tracking for flight combat sims like IL2 but I doubt there will be a flight sim coming out for the Wii or any console.
