Motion Controlled gaming has been around much longer than this generation. Duck Hunt, Time Crisis, Eye Toy? Yet classic controllers never get disbanded.
I think will the same for this generation and generations to come.
'But technology is always moving forward, why would companies hang on to something as primitive and old-fashioned as joypads in the future?' I hear you say.
The answer is human limitations. Are gamers really waiting for a world where games can only be controlled through motion with no alternative? No, Wii Fit is fun for half an hour maybe an hour. But there are enough times when you want gaming to be recreative instead of fatiguing, like after a long days of work perhaps?
I think that when the time is there that we control/play games directly with our minds, that controllers as we know it will dissappear. And who knows...maybe even not then.
