I will no longer game if kinect/move become the core of the next-gen consoles.

It's new tech, and will become much better utilized as time goes on (assuming it's popularity remains increasing).
In a scenario where most devs are forced to use it I guarantee great ideas will be born.
I mean look at the Wii for example. Ignore the party/casual games for a second, and look at games like Super Mario Galaxy. Arguably the finest creation this generation, and it was fit to the Wii remote which isn't anywhere near as good of tech as it could be.
And anyone who's played the Wii for it's games targetted to our demographic understands that it's not just mindless flailing, and jumping around. You can literally sit on your couch, and play many Wii titles without much movement.
But then on the other hand motion controls also leave room for more refined genres, and gaming experiences for consoles too. Games like Tiger Woods PGA Tour are far better with motion controls than they ever were without them, and it's also much more possible to play a "more-proper" RTS game with motion controls than with dual analog.
So in the end you can get the best of both worlds with motion controls as long as the tech is refined, and good devs are on board.
