Exactly. I owned a wii for about 6 months. During that time, I played alone about 30 minutes. I played with friends a few times, but when I was alone, the motion control was just a gimmick.

This is going to be an evolutionary step in gaming... can't wait.

Basically, biometrics have finally found their way to gaming. The end result to this project will basically drop the gaming right into the action - like being a part of your favorite movie.

Yeah, but sometimes I want to just sit there and move my thumbs and fingers. I don't want to have to dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge my way through a halo level or have to throw, hurdle, and juke my way through madden.

I know that some people will like this in party atmospheres with people that don't like regular video games, but it just doesn't seem like it will connect with people that already play a ps3 or 360. JMO

this reminds me of when I first owned a NES. I had that track and field game...there was no way I was going to run in one spot on that pad. I would always just beat that pad with my hands as fast as I could. Screw that movement crap

This is going much further than the Wii has gone. This technology reads your facial expressions and incorporates it into the game. So the way you move, look, and feel at any giving moment is the way your character will move, look, and feel in the game.

This is the start of some ground breaking stuff.

Incredible technology, but I think it's going to be a long time before they get it right. I'm not necessarily talking about the actual mechanics, but using it properly in games as the experience it should be. We'll see a few years of crap and gimmicky software with a couple standouts before someone with get it 'right.' Luckily, Nintendo started it, MS and Sony are going to pump steroids into it. N will continue to explore options that will be gobbled up by the others if it's any good as well.

I think we'll have some crazy, unbelievable stuff in 4 or 5 years. I also think these devices are really pointing to a longer console cycle.
