ah, but are you the majority, or has this changed the way people will game? The novelty wore off for you, but you were advocating with the Wii a novelty that won't alter the way the next gen works.
I don't think that's true, whether or not you like the controls. I think the DS demonstrates that there is a fanbase for people playing games differently, and I think that the Wii is the first step into an alternate gaming experience. Sure, it may need more buttons, more interactivity later, but isn't that what "Next Gen" systems do?
Besides, you seem Hell-Bent to write it off as a "failure" or a gimmick. You don't like it, I get it. You see it as a failure.
And honestly, I think mainstream consumers will prove you wrong.
