As much as I love the controller, the fact remains that I have yet to play a game that SUCCESSFULLY uses the sixaxis capabilities of this device. The best I've experienced is swinging the controller to perform a rifle butt in Call of Duty 3.
Far worse than a few more bucks per controller, having motion sensing makes devs want to graft poorly thought out waggle onto every single damn game (ask the Wii) just so they can say, "Now with Motion Sensing Controls!!!1!", and ruining an otherwise-great game.
I say that as a relatively happy Wii owner -- there's some pretty egregious abuses of the accelerometer, let me tell you.

But how does have the ability of motion sensing hurt it? seriously?
Umm ya it does, having motion sensing makes it cost more.
