Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away

The bad rep for movement controls comes from too many poor implementations. As long as it is subtle and meaningful it’s awesome.

I have used it. Played Metroid Prime 3, which is probably the best implementation of motion controls by far in any game.
I still would prefer using a normal controller with no motion controls. I would really prefer a trackball on a controller, but that likely won’t happen.

Aiming in MP3 is done through the IR pointer. I loved that game. It has the best FPS controls on the Wii. But it has absolutely nothing to do with gyro aiming.
With gyro aiming you do the large movements traditionally with the right joystick and only make micro adjustments with very small natural tilting of the controller. I thought I wasn’t using it until I deactivated it. It has nothing to do with picking up the controller and pointing it at the screen. It has nothing to do with making any gestures. An outside observer might not even notice that you’re using it.

The Wii controllers are no where what gyro controllers have today.
