The Wii remote and the Move controller are perfect for sports titles, 3rd person action games, FPS, AG and if done well, racing. That makes them absolutely perfect for hardcore gaming and it is all up to the publishers to create great hardcore games.
I seriously question whether Move/Kinect etc. will be the "perfect" controller for racing games. How do most people play mariokart on the Wii? By turning the wiimote round and using it as a "classic controller".

How well it will work with other "hardcore" games remains to be seen.

The focus of motion control is not on hardcore gaming. Certainly developers can develop hardcore games to use it, if it fits in with their type of game (and as you point out, many sports games will fit the bill here) but, in my opinion, they are looking at the casual audience here first and foremost, which is a shift away from the past/current(?) focus on "hardcore" gamers.

Sony and M$ have developed their version of this technology not because hardcore games/gamers were crying out for it on their PS3/360, but as something hardcore games can use if they wish and to broaden their platforms to include casual/family/wii type games.

Sony's consoles have ALWAYS been aimed at hardcore gamers. Nintendo's upcoming handheld - the 3DS will be targeted towards the hardcore gamer. M$'s current and future consoles will be targeted towards hardcore gamers.
In the same way that Sierra ALWAYS make adventure games? If Sony and M$ can make more money from casual games do you think they will still focus on "hardcore" games out of loyalty to "hardcore" gamers?
