Well you claim you don't want to buy a system just by looking at the controller, and then go on to blame Nintendo for the controller and turning you off anyway..
So which is it ?
The fact of the matter here is that until we see how the controller is used in games, and have a chance to see other people playing the system, all this bitching may turn out to have been for nothing.
Innovations come about because people don't listen when people tell them their ideas are shit. Granted it could be legitimately shit, we still do not know at this point in time how well the controller really functions.
Hell, if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that my magazine was pointless, or that no one would really have any interest in it, I'd be pretty damn rich myself. Just because people don't care about something, or perceive something as useless, doesn't necesarrily make it so.
