[Wii] Disappointed with the controller

Am I the only one who isn't satisfied with what the Wii has yet had to offer with it's controller? I've for a very long time felt that Nintendo was going the right way when they were gonna make Wii with it's "revolutionary" controller, straying from the graphics fight of the console war, but the more I actually play the Wii the more dissapointed I get. I just feel that the controller isn't good enough, it was fun at first, but it isn't as accurate as I had hoped it to be and it has happened more than once that it has miscalculated a movement I made, especially for games when you have to move the Wiimote a lot. It's okay for games when you don't need to move the controller too much, but even then it's not doing what it really supposed to IMO. In some cases the controller just feels unnecessary and you could play the game just as well with a regular controller. I don't know if all this is because of the games or the controller, but as of yet the controller has never made me wow the way I'd wanted it to in the first place. I've played the Wii regularly at my friends house and had intended to buy one at first, but now it's probably gonna be a PS3. What do you guys think of this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I wasn't really saying that the PS3s motion control was better in any way, just that when the feature that's supposed to be the most outstanding in a console is lacking I just don't feel like buying that console any longer (that console being the Wii in this case). If they develop a better working control for the next generation I'd probably get a "second generation Wii", because in essence I don't find the idea the be bad, just that it's all potential wasted.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah I'm looking at what the games for the Wii have given me so far, I've played pretty many of them with my friend having a chipped Wii; and I feel many games are just centered around the control as a gadget (Wario Ware, Wii Sports, Elebits and more), it gets tiring pretty quickly, especially when it doesn't react very well to your moves.

I'm not really saying Wii has all bad games with bad controls, games like SMG and Metroid Prime 3 (haven't played this game too much though) are great, some of the railshooters work very good with the control too, but those games mostly just involve pointing and that is not that highly advanced nor different from using a mouse or a light gun that we've had for years. In the games where it goes beyond merely pointing I often find the controls awkward, unreal and unresponsive, and it has happened many times that I end up pissed because the controls can't read my movements properly (yeah, I'm talking about you, Wii Sports). At times it even feels like the fucking powerglove to the NES would respond better.

In the end, what I've gotten most disappointed with I guess is that all these innovative and original games I had been looking forward to the Wii haven't come as they're stuck with testing out the Wiimote, while the other consoles are getting/about to get the good and interesting games, with the still working good ol controller AND great graphics/high prestanda.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
