Didn't they already have enough backlash from people turning Wiimotes into ballistic missiles?

I've heard of no such thing, though I'd be interested in a youtube link of it. I'd very much like to see a wiimote deliver warheads through the means of a sub-orbital spaceflight to a predetermined target propelled by a chemical rocket engine.

Well scientists have already used the Wii remote for a stupidly large amount of things (is laziness the cause? Or is it just because the Wii is fashionable nowadays?) so I don't see why the Wiimote couldn't be adapted into the next-gen control system for that predator drone or MK7 intercontinental ballistic missile...

The scary thing about this peripheral? It'll probably sell better than any of Sega's consoles ever did... What a cruel world.

Sucks how people don't catch irony on the internet unless you put it in caps, quotation, wink and say "no pun intended". Odd cause it's so common on joystiq.

I didn't miss it. It just wasn't a very good joke. It's like saying black people are black.

Except your not holding the football, your holding the Wiimote with the ball hanging down. LOL. I can see all the stories now of people thinking they have to hold the football and throwing it around hahaha.

This looks like it may be intended for use as sort of a tripod for your wiimote. Allows you to rest your wiimote on your leg comfortably while using it. I know that's usually how I use the wiimote anyway. This may make that position more comfortable. I can't imagine they intended it in any other way.

As stupid as this concept is, the design may be even worse.

So you hold the Wiimote, and the football hangs down below your hand? How is that in any way like holding an actual football?

Good article and a nice summation of the problem. My only problem with the analysis is given that much of the population joined the chorus of deregulatory mythology, given vested interest is inclined toward perpetuation of the current system and given a lack of a popular cheerleader for your arguments, I'm not seeing much in the way of change.
