Sorry about that :3, but it did get you to actually stop ranting and pose a really great question that I don't mind fielding at all.
Quote:I have been told by a number of people who own a Wii that few games actually use the motion sensor to it's full capacity.
Honestly, it depends what games you're playing. I don't own that many games for the Wii (only seven, plus Wii sports), but all of them use the Wii remote in at least two distinctly different ways. Keep in mind that these are all relatively high profile games produced by serious companies. None of that Majesco bullshit in my library.
I have Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Mario Kart Wii, Resident Evil 4, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (which I always forget I own, I haven't played it since July), and the two Wii Trauma Centre Games. Oh, and Wii Sports.
Where you start running into trouble with bad implementation of Wii controls - or complete non-usage of them - is when you look at all the bargain-bin filler crap. But hey, every system...scratch that, the PS3 doesn't really...okay, so the Wii and 360 BOTH have piles of crappy bargain bin games. They just happen to be different genres.
The Wii's bin games are primarily party games or really dodgy rail shooters. The 360's bin games are expired sports titles with increasingly large numbers and a frightening number of Halo clones. But it'd be a mistake to judge a system by its bad games, either in badness or in quantity. The SNES was practically drowning in mascot-themed 2D side-scrollers by the time it retired, but does that make it a bad system?
