I personally do not think that will be the result. After an initial rush of some offerings, the same pattern will probably emerge. That has always been the story for add-on controllers since the classic days. There were few games for the Atari 2600 Driving Controller or the Intellivoice or the many Colecovision Expansion Modules.

Oh sure, it could be a (comparatively) low budget route to try it out, DSiWare versus DSi enhanced/only retail being a good comparison of what to expect maybe.  It just seems any arguments where userbase comes into the picture should immediately favor Motion+, which likely has over 10m units in the wild already... how long will it take the PSmote/eye or Natal to reach 10 million?  How many Motion+ units will already be out there when either releases? 20 million?  30 million?

If developers use it for that, yes. Resort is the best example, although you can also see it in Grand Slam Tennis (before the serve, you can rotate your Wiimote in various ways and the racket will move accordingly). During the match Grand Slam seems to switch to a different system though: it uses your speed, rough angle, and the amount of your follow through to determine where your return goes, but not in a truly 1:1 manner. I certainly have to slightly modify my swing when I play Grand Slam, anyways.

I dont know, i see the Motion+ not as an every day peripheral, but as a different thing>

Its cheap and small = affordable.

Contraire to the Balance Board, there´s A LOT of game genres that could benefit from it.

Heck, you dont even need to unplug it to play regular games!

Mandatory motion+ games would be pretty different than normal offerings, since the 1-on-1 recognition affects gameplay directly.

In the above sentence, diffrent means interesting, fun, new, innovative, i want this.

And alredy has a pretty good install base.

In the end, it all comes to the games and 3rd parties. Good games = sucsses. Bad games = failure. The amount of good games will determine how much usage the peripheral will see.

Where the heck is my motion+ flight game? Here we have the most obvious use ever for 1:1 controls, but as of yet no indication anyone is making one. I see sky crawlers (not 1:1 though) is coming here, but I'd prefer something like Pilotwings or Sky Odyssey where there is no combat.

For those of you wanting true 1:1 in a sports game, you need to really consider what you are asking for. If you have difficulty playing real tennis, don't expect to be the next virtual Andre Agassi using 1:1 controls.

Sega already stated they had to go with non-1:1 because it was simply too difficult to handle unless you had a solid background in the real game already and that wasn't the goal of the game. It's almost an arcade style tennis game, not a simulator.

Look forward to Dynamic Slash in Mid May or Early April, latest being Mid June (delay). =P

Same here. I think the learning curve has turned many off. Once you get passed that it's a joy. It's the first real effort for a 'lifelike' tennis game, it can only get better from here.

My neighbour still has the game. From time to time i have some thoughts about asking it again.

I found it dreadful back in the day. Hated the controls, hated the announcer, hated the game. Digged the graphics.

But you´re not the first one that i see saying that the controls are fine. Yet, the game didnt sold a lot...

MAYBe ill get it again for a second view on it. But for now (and for the general public), it was kind of a letdown.
