I'll be back here playing my old-school PS2 era jRPGs, if any of those companies want to find me.

Yeah I'll second that, and I don't even play PS2 era jRPGs anymore. I mean there's some ME3 news and like 6 minutes of BF3 and that was neat, but it was so minimal compared to the junk they're pushing.
I'm actually forming an opinion against motion controlled gaming, to be honest. I was personally not interested in it very much, after being bored to death by the Wii twice, but I kept neutral on the matter. I know people that are enjoying Kinect, for instance. But honestly, I feel it's going beyond just my personal preference at this point, I think motion gaming is indirectly harming my own interests, now.
Watching these conferences, there's just so much effort going into these motion games, be they 100% motion or 50% or 20% or fully optional, it's detracting from games I give a shit about. Ride a fucking cart in Fable 4 with Kinect? Serious? How about spend the 10,000 man hours put into an optional Kinect bullshit cart and make Fable 4 a good fucking game [unlike Fable 3]. Was that ME3 kinect stuff real or not? Shit, if it's real, god damn, don't even get me started on motion gaming poking at my most beloved contemporary game franchise. Maybe Ubisoft would stop being near the top of most facepalm-y developers in my books if they stopped producing less garbage and focused on a few more powerful franchises (AC is a good example of this, even if its "changes" with each iteration are a bit dubious).
Sure, the economy is against me. Sales are probably against me. Perhaps I am even the minority opinion here; I probably am. That doesn't change a thing: this shit sucks, it's gimmicky, it has almost always sucked, and it will continue to suck until somebody important decides more sales can be found with some other gimmick and the industry moves in that direction. Shit sucks.
