Sony Worldwide Studios head Harrison then chimed in by suggesting: "You hand someone a game controller and it's like you've handed someone a grenade with the pin taken out", mimicking the act of being handed a 'live' controller.

He then referenced the growth of 'easy' controllers such as those on Sony's Buzz and SingStar and even Guitar Hero, noting: "That democratization has become very powerful", and also commenting of Apple's iPod touch interface: "Apple should be applauded for that innovation."

Of course he didn't mention the Wiimote, but the implication is there...

Well gameplay wise it is ... just that IMO you cant make a console just for games like Wii sports .. luckily there is MP3 ;)

The controller has many possibilities, developers are just lazy in exploring them. No More Heroes had excellent use of the controller. Hold it vertical or horizontal to switch between stances, use motions for finishing moves and wrestling moves, and masturbate to recharge, as well as the variety of side missions and quirky ways of using it (such as a baseball bat, or cat toy).

The wiimote isn't just good for wiisports type games, it's good for alot. Devs are just lazy. And when somebody actually steps up to the plate, they can really create something that feels great to play.

HAHAHAHAAH Wii sports and next gen in the same sentence! hahahaha

Failing machine.
