Why do you have to sit upright and straight in front of the TV? Did you even try reading the specs on it? It uses motion sensors to determine how you're moving the remote, not infra red. Therefore it doesn't matter what angle you use it from, as long as the relativity in movement is the same.
The 360 controller is not the real one. The colors are wrong and it's too shiny.

This is the real thing.


As for you explanation of the revolution. So you can actually point the controller away from the tv or whereever you put the sensor thing? Even so it will still be annoying that you have to move your entire hand instead of just the thumb when you are going to move. I still think it will be very difficult to maneuver in any other positon that "upright and straight in front" (maybe not straight in front but the front of the controller has to be aimed at the tv), just try rotating your mouse 90 degrees and you will see what I mean.

I agree with Dez that this is very "hit or miss". I think someone said that it all really depends on the game-developers. I don't think alot of non-nintendo games will have support for this, especially not games that are designed for multiple platforms.
