Motion Controls popularity begins with the Wii. I explain how they were, there problems, and how they have overall benefitted the gaming industry as a whole. Sharing how the are used and survive today in multiple consoles. Explaining how almost every console makes use of them to some degree and how they are actually incredibly useful for developers and future games as long as there isn't to many expectations placed on them.
