I think it was an absolutely wonderful idea to make a motion sensing wiimote and Wii did revolutionize the gaming industry by adding the idea of motion sensing to Sony and MS. But good ideas sometimes are not the most practical... I cannot tell you how sore my arm was after holding up the remote to shoot some guy off in a distance for Red Steel or other shooting games for that matter. Or sometimes if you move too fast and move out of range for the sensor bar (bluetooth would have been a better choice I think since it will have a much wider range w/o worrying about things blocking the line of sight) and it can get frustrating.

Overall, its a good system, great idea, and well marketed for launch. And it will continue to be fun for wiiplay or wiisports or even mario party 25, but it is not for serious gamers.
