Many gamers in this forum dislike motion sensing, some of them even want the Move and Natal to fail because they think they're fads. Perosnally, I love motion sensing, and I think the REAL reason why people hate motion sensing is because its different to the controllers they used when they were younger. In other words: gamers hate CHANGE, not the motion controllers themselves. Motion sensing controllers are still relatively new technology, so that is the biggest reason why some gamers hate them.
Now, lets imagine things in reverse. Imagine if motion sensing controllers were THE standard way to play your games ever since the early Magnavox Oddysey and Atari 2600 consoles. Ever since you were young, you played all your favorite console games like Zelda: Ocarina of Time using motion controllers, and loved them so much because you were used to them. Now in E3 2006... a company called Nintendo came along and surprised the game industry with a new type of controller that does not have any motion sensing. It is an innovative gamepad... which allows you to sit on the sofa like a couch potato and twiddle your thumbs! Wow! For the past 20+ years, you have been playing games by moving your body and improving your physical exercise (which you loved), but thanks to the Nintendo Wii, you now have to play your games by sitting in a chair like a couch potato and twiddle your thumbs around.
I wonder what gamers think of soemthing like that? I bet System Wars will be like "why would I want to play games by twiddling my thumbs? I can already do that on my PSP, so I dont want to do it on my PS3 as well! I hate Nintendo for ruining motion controllers!"
Your thought? :)
