Nintendo and Sega realise it and to some extent Sony but the controller is a lot more useful than just a system in which to create movements on a screen.
They add to the experience in particular the Z button creates a the impression that you are actually holding a gun.
But they can do some much more! The analogue stick for example if there is 2 like on Sony's and Gamecube's controllers you can use them both for arm movements. Each seperate analogue stick would represent a movement of an arm. An example could be a boxer each analogue stick could represent a fist on a boxer and the different thumps would depend on the arc of the movement you make with the analogue stick.
It could be the same with ores on a boat and another idea might be that of a small wheel that goes half into the controller and half out in place of the R and L buttons and you could use it as a steering wheel for a driving game.
If developers could realise that controllers could be used in different ways we may be playing a larger variety of games which creates completley different experiences and games like these could be the future of gaming.
