Microsoft Controllerless Gaming

Heres the story on cnn.com

While I do like the idea im torn between it. I have the luxury of being born in a certain time and have grown up my entire life seeing every new game system or advancement that came out. I remember playing atari, nintendo nes, and all the way up to the current systems of ps3, xbox 360, and nintendo wii. I also love using a controller. I actually dont like the nintendo wii so much because of how much i have to move on some games. Like on wii sports boxing if you have a good opponent is exhausting and no longer becomes a game it becomes a work out. Ive had matches with friends that literally left my arms hurting for days. If i wanted to work out i would have bought a piece of gym equipment not a video game system. While i do see the need for people to work out and how video games can offer that bonus these days im fairly certain the future of gaming will ultimately become non controller based. I think those who play games and dont try to exercise its their choice and we shouldnt be merging these two things. These are basically the first steps into a world where video games are no longer played comfortably but played physically.

What happens when madden games become real? You become a person playing football not someone playing a video game.

These are just my thoughts on this subject they may not be totally reasonable and may be downright silly to some of you, but i hope you get what im saying.
