>Same with various "waggling" input technologies like the Wiimote and Kinect.

Hasn't VR taken over waggle? I don't think you can say its disappeared when the VR install base is in the 10s of millions.

Yeah, the Quest seems to be the spiritual successor to Wii sports. It’s the closest thing you can buy to that 2006 experience. The long dream of wielding a lightsaber on the Wii was finally realized on the Quest, to a quite satisfactory level.

And yet, from a gaming perspective, we still have to crack force feedback and natural locomotion before we have a holodeck. Maybe in 20 more years.
