New style? More intuitive? It's a lateral shift in controls. Once the novelty of waving a wand instead of pressing a button or a direction wears off, you'll simply be left with a glitchier alternative to regular controls. It's a placebo, not a panacea, for your gaming ennui.
If your friends or family didn't want to play games previously, waggling a wand will no more entice them than pressing buttons did.
