That's very cute. ^^
But they catch on to what separates "hardcore" gamers (in this case, the vast majority of gamers whether they call themselves hardcore or casual) from "casuals" (those that break out the Wii on Thanskgiving so the kids don't mess up the house.)
While most all gamers respect the Wii for its marketability and its opening of gaming into the greater pop culture, most gamers do still think of motion-sensing gaming as a gimmick. So whether or not MS "perfected" it with Kinect/Natal, many gamers still consider it cantankerous, if only because "real gaming" involves fast reaction speed and ergonomic economy of motion, while motion-cap gaming involves the exact opposite--broad, generally inaccurate motions and gestures.
Oh well, maybe in about 10 years time mass-marketed sensors will be so sophisticated that they can pick up enough fine motion detail such that twitch-gaming finesse moves will be possible on gaming systems. And maybe 50 years from now we can just bypass sensors and buttons and just plug directly into some socket in the base of our skulls. :p LOL
