That´s always a pretty good dilema.
It´s true that Wii has made a revolution on the control system on games, but I believe that pure gamers still prefer the "classic" way of playing a videogame (a gamepad, a backgroud story for the game, an unexpected ending, ... Whatever but always inside the concept of "classic" gaming).
On the other side, this is a business and Wii is making impressive benefits with "less" powerful games. So it´s obvious that the rivals of Nintendo are a bit worried, because they need to put lots of efforts to make an equally enjoyable game for selling the same (that´s relative, but the proportional effort is very different).
For this reason I think that nex-gen consoles of Microsoft and Sony will probably incorporate a new control system for many games, although they´re surely going to put their biggest efforts on the "classic" games development.
And let me say one more thing: the revolutionary change in gaming is not as far as we think, the console systems of 2020 will have nothing in common with what we have right now. But this is not one generation, that´s two.
