How much longer before Wiimote/Nunchuck is considered a "standard controlle

when sony copycats the wii for their ps4 :PcrunchUK

Let's say when this kind of controller will be accurate enough o compare with mouse and keyboard, the wii's controller is far from that, I guess next gen (hoping it will really be one)

Isn't Nintendo the originator of the controller button concept. Every other console before that used joysticks.

Its arguable that they were amongthe first major successful brand to use the compact disc forgame media, but NEC's TurboGrafx CD add-on for the TG-16 was the first CD system. Sega was the second brand to use CD with the Sega CD add-on for the Genesis. Sony was like the 5th brand to use CD-ROM for a game system

In your opinion that is.

NOPE. sega saturn was. you PHAIL.

I don't care if they add motion sensing but I would NEVER want the the current gamepads abandoned. They only upgrade I'd allow as standard are neurological sockets implanted on the top of out spine. So we can plug in our games via matrixBlue-Sky

Hopefully no time soon. Im not knocking the controller because it is ok for what it does. While playing SMG the other night (havent gotten far enough to give a full judgment but from what I've played) I couldnt help thinking that I'd rather be playing with a GC or the classic controller. Like I said it works for what it is, but I prefer the oldschool controls.rockydog1111

I do like that my left and right hand can lay on my lap seperately. Its very comfortable.

Plus they're releasing a wireless nunchuk which should make it even better.

Sony and MS will never copy wii. The "Standard controller" is great i personaly HATE the wii remote for shooters. W/WO the wii zapper.

If they do copy im not buying a console and just going to PC game. The wii remote Sucks (In my opinion) for shooters.

Here's a big problem with the wiimote. That darn sensor bar. The range on that thing is downright embarassing. People come over and I have to explain to them that they have to sit right in front of the television to play properly. Plus with shooters your never pointing at the screen so the zapper and the wii commercials are very misleading.Your really pointing at the sensor bar. Ugh what a pain.

You people talking about how you don't like it are completely missing the point. Whether or not you like the Wiimote/Nunchuk is completely irrelevant. I asked how much longer before it's considered a "standard controller". If the Wii is the best-selling console, shouldn't it be considered the "standard controller", and the PS3/360 be considered "alternate" or "retro" controllers? Analog controllers weren't considered "standard" when Nintendo first introduced them, but now are. Rumble controllers weren't considered standard at first, but now are. Why wouldn't the best-selling system's controllers be considered "standard". They should. It should be the weak-selling systems whose retro controllers that should be considered "alternate".

And for the person who said it's terrible for your wrists ergonomically, what the hell are you talking about? It's much better to be able to hold two controllers seperately.

And to the person who said you don't point at the screen, but at the sensor bar? I don't know about you, but I point at the screen. I have my sensor bar above my t.v., and in my Wii settings it indicates that. The cursor doesn't always align with exactly where I point at the screen (although it's extremely close with Zelda due to the customization options), but I'm always pointing at the screen.

Again people, this argument has nothing to do with which is the "better" controller. It has to do with which is considered "standard". I think the system that will likely outsell the other two combined should be considered the "standard". Besides, the standard has to change sometime. The standard went from a d-pad and two main action buttons (NES) to dual analog with rumble and many buttons. Why would it stop evolving there?

Actually nearly every facet of Nintendo was borrowed from Atari..

Hopefully never. Ive yet to really see a point for it.Cali3350

How then are you going to emulate the pointer functionality without some sort of "wiimote-like" controller? And if you've played any game that uses IR, you know it's vastely superior to non-IR.

Your comment is like saying "I don't see the point to analog sticks and more than two buttons". LOLz
