I am 15 years old and think of my self as a gamer (nerd even, as if the brackets didn't already tip me off) and fear and rejoice over this new motion controlling tech. I just hope developers don't overuse the tech once it's released (cause that never happens *cough* six axis *cough*). No matter how technologicly advanced motion controlling becomes you can't forget where it all started, the controller.
