en In some ways I find the mouse to be a much more advanced device than your typical game controller, ... It is generally easier to learn because of the visual nature of its interface and has far more consistency across applications. The mouse is still rapidly changing (more buttons, mouse wheels), in a sense it represents the evolution of a new language based on micro-gestures of your hand and fingers. Whatever the device is, I think this new spatial/gesture language represents the most probable future of input devices.

en Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement. . . says heaven and earth in one word. . . speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time.

  Robert Frost

en This is a complex and rapidly changing industry, and it is not surprising that some additional time is required to fully understand and fairly evaluate it.
