Do you still believe that the Wiimote is a gimmick?

Yeah. Motion only hinders real games (Punch out) and only makes stupid games more fun (wii sports).

Wiimote = Gimmick. Glow stick = Legendary. That's just the way it works.

buttons and something to move with are nessesery, sonys dilmote dosent have anything to move with, while natal dosent even have any buttons

Yes. Just like sony and microsoft's recent showings. Just like the eyetoy was. Gimmicks aren't such a big problem if you don't base your entire console on them.

While it may be a gimmick Wii remote can make the controls better for games but it depends on the genre.

this is the point most people dont get.

lets take natal as an example.

fighting games HELL yes

FPS? no thanks

People will still be asking this next gen when all the consoles are motion controlled. Let go of the buttons, people.

Yes, I have, which is why I consider the Glow Sticks better than Natal. I'm not anti-buttons, I'm anti-all buttons, all the time.

Its a gimmick. Gimmick attract casuals. Enough said. Just for the fact some games like SSBB play better with a classic or gamecube controller mean that it wasn't so revolutionary as Nintendo made it out to be.

Yes.

Wrong. Way wrong. You could swing your arms in any direction in no more heroes and still do the finishing move. That game had broken Wii controls but was still fun.

The fact that Gran Turismo plays better with a wheel, Street Fighter plays better with an arcade stick, light gun games play better with the GunCon, FPs play better with M&K/IR means the Dual Shock, 360 Controller are utter crap

At this point, I do not know how anyone call it a "fad." Maybe in Japan.

Is it bad for the industry? I tend to say "no," but in all honesty, who the hell knows?

For me, it is a "gimmick." Unless we are talking about IR, such as Link's Crossbow Training, or a Wii Sports, motions controls almost always feel forced. More games that give you the option of traditional control, such as Punch-Out, or Mario Kart Wii, the better things will be, IMHO.
