I won't disagree with you. Most hard core gamers are set in their ways. And I don't believe the technology is quite there yet.

Although I still see some potential in the motion controls.

And one comment made me think a bit:
"You can not tell me that the average sports gamer is going to spend hours and hours standing and making real-world gestures over the course of an 80-100 game season in a game."
....Currenty video games attempt to mimick the dog days of a long season with things like "chemistry" or being in a "zone"...stuff I don't think works very well. They need to do this because even when we are tired, we can handle a controller as good as any other day. However if we actually had to get off the coach, those "dog days" might be alot more realistic.
