Wii revolutionized gaming, Wii U does not.


nope. tell me what are these these sytem sellin games  that are coming out that rely on motion controls, i see nothing huge on ps4/xbone/wiiu where motion controls are the  selling point, it's just something nobody cares about anymore, sure its inlcuded but you could easily remove it from gaming and it wouldn't effect sales.

There are millions of people playing games today that wouldn't be without the Wii. It brought in new demographics, changing gaming from a dudebro/nerd/kids activity to a more socially accepted form of entertainment.

oh please, there is no way you can prove that, sure wii sold millions to none gamers but who is to say these people are even still playing games, most of the people i know that bought the wii don't even game anymore on pc's or consoles, to say the wii revolutionized  gaming is none sense, as motion controls are already  irrelevant.

Can you prove any of these statements? Same goes for the person you quoted.

Actually, don't bother. I'm just prompting QUOTEWALLS.

You're both making hot-blooded opinions and rolling your Rs and pointing pompadours in a threatening manner. But ultimately you're thrusting your hips at each other, and it's bloody hilarious.

Please continue.

maybe it helped, there is no way to prove that once again, but to say it revoluntionized gaming is nonesense especially since its already irrevelant,  how does helping the casual market  revloluntionized gaming, if it made gaming better, every single game would have it in a meaningful way, like the daul anlog, that something that revlotionized gaming or the first anlog on a console.

Diversifying gaming is making it better.

And dual analogue is garbage, ask any PC gamer worth their salt. It only sticks around because it's safe, conditioned comfort food, like McDonalds.

Same could be said about PS4 and Xbox.

People confuse the Wii's IR tracking as motion control, and those pointer controls have continued through this current-gen. From WiiU you have the wiimote IR being used in Pikmin3 (wiimoteplus has gyro tracking)... Kinect's hand tracking or PSEye tracking the DS4 lightbar? Xbox one controller has no motion sensors, but the DS4 still has the six-axis and Sony also made their last-gen motion wands be backwards compatible.

Nintendo tried the Gamepad's gyro + second-screen as a selling feature, with Google Street app or ZombiU's room scanning.

In the end, the competition has been influenced by the Wii, Kinect on Microsoft side and six-axis/move on Sony.

Is this really wrong though? Motion control, motion tracking, or whatever you want to call it, has been around since as long as a device has been able to take a visual reference and extrapolate movement from a device capable of transmitting useable data. Such devices have been around for at least 50 years, but the tech has never been so important as the experiences it enables. This is why the Wiimote will be remembered, and its contenders less so.

Not wrong, but the experience changes when the input is IR, gyroscope or accelerometers.

And I agree that people will remember Wii Sports first rather than Kinect Sports or... Move Sports? ... forgot the name.
