Huh?

Again, I agree to a point. It shouldn't be forced by a new game system. The Wii's failure includes the default "radical" controls. No serious game wanted to support it. You could say it was the 480p, but it is easy for a game to port to a lower graphic standard. It is harder to support a completely new controller.

Now if the Wii default controller was a standard GameCube controller, and the magic wand controllers were optionally, the system wouldn't have done well at first, but would have done better over time. I am afraid they are doing the same thing again, and soon they will only be a video game developer only.

I don't know what you mean about being forced to buy a new game system. This generation has been going since 2005, with two new control types introduced only a few years back. It's time for new systems. This is the first generation where you can well and truly say we've maxed it out and it times to move on since WE'RE ready, not the manufacturers forcing us.

As for the Wii thing, well, your wish is Nintendo's command with the Wii U. The default, stock controller has all the traditional controls you could ever want, the touchscreen and motion stuff and the other stuff built-in is just an enhancement. It's also in HD, so it will be properly supported. Except for - in my opinion - needing to have just a bit more horsepower, it really sounds like an ideal system at this point.
