All The Motion Based Video Game Shit Is Getting Kinda Annoying

Nintendo inadvertently (or advertently, who the fuck knows) screwed up the video game industry forever when they introduced the Wii.  The Wii did something that no other system, PS2 included, had ever done; appealed to people who didn't like video games.  As Cracked has pointed out, this now introduces a problem for every video game developer because in order to not lose money and go bankrupt, they kinda have to follow suit.  And with that, originality in the industry is all but dead. Microsoft has Kinect (terrible name), PS3 has Move (boring name), and the Wii is still the Wii, albeit with an add on to the remote that makes it better at motion sensing (or so they say).  Regular ass games are gonna be the minority soon if things keep going in this direction and once that happens, you can count me out.
