Looks like you will soon be able to play motion based games on more than just the wii.

While I'm all for Motus and all these other companies piggybacking off of Nintendo and exploring this technology, it should still be said that these aren't REALLY revolutionary: you're still moving your hands to control an avatar. In fact, I think the Wii-mote is much LESS efficient than traditional analog controls, because (a) there's a lag time - "latency" - and (b) it requires more motion than an analog stick.
Nintendo's always been at the tip of the tech spear in gaming, particularly with controllers (first D-pad, analog stick, and now the Wii-mote), but, when push comes to shove, this is an incremental advancement, not a revolution.
I think the next MAJOR controller revolution will be when we control game data via neurological sensors.
