Nope, i'm right, look at the two controllers you're showing 12 buttons, two analog sticks and two motion controllers, that's horrible compicated, by comparision the Wii controls are elegant and simplified, it doesn't overwhelm the user

I hope that's really not the case, I dislike motions controls period for 99% of my games, but having said this, I don't see why both traditional and motion controls can't co-exist in harmony...different strokes for different fokes...

Hell if you really want to broaden the market then one would think that you'll have both control systems on the one system, that way that system not only appeals to the hardcore gamers but also the casual gamers...all in all it's a win win situation for everyone.

Way to take something that I made up with 10 minutes on photoshop and make an actual commentary about how Nintendo is better because this isn't designed as well as a wii mote+numchuck that was in development for 3 years before release by a design team with a creative director. You're not a troll, you're actually serious ^o^
