I agree, could be used to make some fantastic games. Hopefully the games will be a little more polished than titles like Konami's Police 24/7:

Nobody is saying you can't make great games with less complex control schemes. I understand your point of view, but the main cause behind the dull gaming scene is consumers not taking a chance on something new when it comes along and buying sequel after sequel instead. I can't even blame game publishers for releasing the uninspired titles, they're the ones that sell the best (most of the time).
