How Big do you think my room is?

Thanks to Nintendo, the gaming world was introduced to the first tangible form of motion control. The Wii has been widely successful and had sold more units than both the PS3 and the Xbox360. This has prompted both Sony and Microsoft to design their own motion controllers to be used with their video game consoles. This makes me ask the question, How big do you think my room is?

Motion controlled video games can be fun. The downside to me is the space they may require to actually play them. Playing a game by yourself may not be a very big problem on the Wii, but stuff four people trying to play Mario Party in the same area, and space become limited. Some games require much more movement than Mario Party, and it can be difficult. I have a good sized bedroom, bigger than many people I know, and even when its clean, getting two or more people standing there, swinging their controllers, is a challenge.

If you watch the commercials for these motion controllers you'll usually see wide open living rooms. My problem is that most people do not have large, wide opened living rooms. Many people have smaller rooms, with a lot of furniture, namely a large coffee table. The commercials make me think that these large companies think we have all the room we need to play these games, but its really quite the contrary. Most of us have cramped spaces to play in, which are more often our bed rooms (not the living room like every commercial seems to portray).
