Games that rely exclusively, or heavily, on motion (Wii, Kinect, Move) and gamepad (Wii U) are going to be trapped in time. I doubt these companies are going to support motion control (it's dead) or the gamepad (never took off) in the future. This means that a plethora of games, many highly acclaimed, have no future as downloads off of PSN, XBL, or NN. Is there any work around to this; other than saving your old consoles or saving the accessories to emulate?

VR will see a revival of motion controls.

I think motion controls will slumber, but won't really die.

Have you watched any morpheus demo using the move controller? Hell, its safe to say that the very premise of the vr headset is based on motion gaming since your heads motion is being tracked.

Motion gaming is't going anywhere... its just finally about to come into its own.

Gamepad games will always remain. I'm sure they'll still keep pushing for motion, but they'll never completely catch on. The problem is many people want to play games to relax which is easy to do with a controller but not as easy with motion controls.

Without Virtual Reality there isn't really a future

I think there is a future for LCD touch-screens in video-game controllers.

I think they will be smaller, though, more along the lines of the Vita's screen, and they won't be marketed as the focus of the system but as an enhancement. Forget the gimmicks, there are some legitimate and practical uses that would benefit games and it makes for a nice media controller.

If it were closer to standard, I think third-parties could really take advantage of it. They're the ones who make the kind of games where it could really be useful. Inventory screens, crafting, quick access skill changes, RTS functions; it's kind of funny that many Nintendo games don't really feature a lot of the stuff that could really use the touch screen on a fundamental level.

What he said, and strangly, the move seems prefectly suited, if you'd have told me six months ago I might end up with move controlers on my coffee table... I'd have laughed in your face.
