Tom Acres from Systemlink writes: "Wii Motion Plus is the latest in a long line of Wii accessories that will undoubtedly sell millions and millions of units. This however is an accessory that will appeal to the core gamer, not an exercise board for middle aged women or some plastic ping pong bats to put your remote in. The Wii Motion Plus promises to create true 1:1 motions between you and the action on screen, something which if we're being honest should have been what the Wii was when it launched in 2006. Still, better late than never right?"
In science fiction movies, one of the main pieces of futuristic technology is almost always motion controlled computer screens. The lead scientist often will rotate, enlarge, crop, or dramatically swipe away different data floating in the air in front of him. Thanks to video games, that fantasy is quickly becoming a reality. Here's a rundown of the gaming innovations in motion control by the big three.
I wonder if this person is aware of previous motion control technology like the Playstation 2 Eye Toy or Sega Activator.

Its still the same controller that got little support.. Only difference is the box & the sync button..
Good read, I agree that the motion+ controllers still have a lot of potential left especially with the upgraded hardware. I would love to see games like Skyrim with solid motion control as an option. That would be much better than yelling at your Kinect if it was well implemented.
Being able to use Wii accessories and software on the Wii U, is a good move by Nintendo.
HDTV, Motion Plus, Smartglass - all are increasingly 'as standard', but why? Aren't these "innovations" just making console gaming the preserve of the few?
i'm getting tired of these types of articles.
a console is 100% enough, a peripheral is just an extra gimmick nobody's forced to buy.
Are we done now ?
People won't be satisfied until you can plug your mind into a machine ala The Matrix and "play" in a virtual reality.
It IS ENOUGH.
LISTEN: The only people trying to convince you/us that it's not enough, are the people trying to make money on OTHER things they want to sell us.
They are trying to " Gimmick " us away from the things they love.
They tell us A isn't enough and we need B. Then 4 years later they tell us B wasn't good enough we need C now.
They Use and dispose of great ideas all in the name of profit.
They need people to plant the seed/ Ideas in the people's minds though.
The gullible will believe anything.
Stay Smart.
