And yet I hear that the Twilight Princess for Gamecube was better since it wasn't waggletastic. Fire Emblem, at least what I played, worked because it IN NO WAY used the motion controls. Metroid worked because of the whole Duck Hunt gun thing I brought up earlier. Super Mario Galaxy is the exception to the rule.

You really missed the entire point didn't you.

This right here is the problem. There were legitimate reasons for the delay and they still get blasted for it. Imagine the outcry if the forced you to buy a second motion sensitive controller in addition to a normal controller instead of putting them both into one much more convenient package.

That is incredibly stupid. Disclaimer: I'm not saying you are stupid; just this particular grouping of sentences. I bitch because I don't want motion controls to replace regular controllers and I don't want virtual reality to be the NEXT BIG THING. I really, really don't.

Fine you are entitled to that opinion but you are not the entirety of the market and they are exactly as entitled to their opinion as well. Both sides are also entitled to enjoy what they enjoy in peace without being slandered by the other side.

Saying I should just sit back and deal with it because I'm everyone else likes it and I'm just annoying them is idiotic. I don't want something to happen. Bitching about it and spreading my opinion might maybe theoretically possibly detract from the possibility of it happening. Is it futile? Probably! Do I care? Nope!

The point is that on occasion things generally have gone way past complaining about the direction things have headed and into being out right insulting about whoever doesn't agree. Further bitching has in no way every theoretically helped prevent something from happening. Except for perhaps the thing the bitching was against. See when you annoy people that don't completely agree with you they are less inclined to agree with you. Its kind of this thing humans do. You can be vocal but there are two caveats to that. The first is expect and accept the possibility of negative reactions. The second is stay as far way from negative connotations and subjective arguments and opinions as possible. If you could actually give an objective argument beyond motion control sucks and I hate waggling your position would both be stronger and less annoying possibly to the point of not being annoying at all.

1) Not all insults are overt.
2) Sometimes people take offense to things you don't think are offensive.
3) Using words or phrasings that have or suggest negative connotations can be construed as insulting.
4) Segregating yourself from another group of people that share some of the same interest as you because of a few differences generally carries a negative connotation.
5) Being negative about or dismissive towards something other people like simply because you don't agree is often seen as insulting.
In this particular case my use of the word insulting did not indicate overt verbal assault. Instead it indicated an overall tone or attitude that would indicate veiled hostility or disdain of a person or group of people. Discussions can be had without this rather ominous cloud hanging over them and in general end up the better for it. At this point though even mentioning video game preferences is getting to the point of better known topics that should never be discussed on the internet.
