Maybe they can just create each game in it's own giant rectangle, or possibly in cube-form, and have it's own screen built in - so you can just plug the game in and play. Shooters can come with guns, and it will track where you aim! The future is so great!



I'm already sick of motion controls.
If every system goes with motion controls as the primary source of control - I think it might be time for me to grow up and stop playing games - because that just sounds entirely annoying and not relaxing at all.

I don't want to freakin' flail around or stand up to play my video games. I want to chill out on the couch, smoke a joint, stretch out and hardly move at all. Same principle as to why I don't want to wave my hand in the air to change the channel on my TV, or clap my hands to turn my light off.

I think a lot of your comments are based on the fact that motion control gaming just isn't done very well in its first generation. 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 controlled gaming has a very bright future once they start perfecting it.
