The next generation of videogame consoles may still be a long way off, but according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot, they're already getting ready to develop games for them.

"For us, the current machines are very powerful and we can do high quality work," he told CNBC. "I'd like to stay with this generation as long as possible, but my customers will want the best machine possible."

All major next-gen consoles may also feature motion-based controls, as evidenced by Sony and Microsoft's E3 2009 presentations. Guillemot, however, says that their core licenses will mostly stick to the tried-and-true controller setup.

"The current pad for gamers is giving them a lot. They play for hours, so they don't want to get up and down. They don't want to be tired after five minutes. These games are about reactivity."

Motion sensing is coming in too early. Games aren't in-depth enough yet to need motion sensetivity. Enviroments don't have the interaction levels where it's worth implementing.

However, at some point, this will change, and when it does, a regular old pad won't be able to give the control required.

So for now, yes, it is very much just a fad, however, I don't think it will stay that way forever.

You have to start somewhere, motion control are cool to some people but I prefer traditional controls. Leave the motion control as a side feature or how the Wii has been doing (as in not too much like what Natal is planning) and things should be fine.

Anyway, Ubisoft has been steadily releasing hit after hit, glad to see they're already thinking about the future because they've really become a development behemoth and I'll always look forward to their titles.
