I seriously doubt that they'd be hedging their entire future gaming market on something that is the equivalent of a computer coming with a bar code scanner for input. Actually I'd say the opposite... it's more like a computer coming out with a 3D mouse that lets you use your PC in ways you'd never have imagined. Nintendo rarely fails on "fun factor" when it comes to games. Seems like you are focusing too much on it's limitations and not it's possibilities. Once developers get ahold of it who knows what they will come up with. That video was just an idea of possibilities not a showcase of future games, so the sky is the limit. It got me pretty excited to tell the truth, I haven't picked up any of my consoles in damn near a year, I'm bored with them. But this has me eager to play again. It's a new paradigm.
