The sensors simply aren't accurate enough to register subtle or exact movement, so you have to flail around and stand to play most motion controlled games. To me that is an issue with execution, technology, and a lack of imagination.

I think motion controls (or a motion controlled system) should be completely separate from gaming with a controller.

Especially now, considering everyone is trying to do it - and nobody is doing it well - so that will just harm both products (gaming with a controller, and motion).

I fear for the future of standard gaming.

I see motion controls being a great idea for things like arcades. That's what they should do. Revamp the idea of an arcade. Go full out on making great motion control games that you don't play from home. Spend extra time on them, and hell - make them come with a giant console as arcade games do - anything to make motion control be done properly, without ruining the integrity of actual home video game systems. Plus I actually think that would go over pretty well. Arcades became unpopular when consoles caught up in graphics and fun-ability - so if they spend their time making motion-control games with the purpose of putting them in an arcade - and a console without the purpose of putting motion controls in them, I think both parties would flourish substantially. Then you can have proper development and progression for actual consoles, and you can have amazing progress in the technological edge of motion gaming, without having to scale bits and pieces of both of them back in order to put them into a console you play from home. Split 'em up. Bring back arcades. Ramble ramble.
