every console that has a Fancy New Feature seems to go through an early phase where every game has obnoxious gimmicks that use that feature
the wii had it with everything using motion controls (almost always badly), the ds had it with everything using the touchscreen
i can't really think of any other super gimmicky things on consoles other than the psvita's rear touchpad thing and we don't knwo enough about the vita library to know how badly that was used

@Felthry The PSX comes to mind. It was great at 2D, but everyone was doing 3D whether it was appropriate or not.
@Felthry @Dex I'm not sure one good exclusive would have been enough to save Sega from their infighting and consequent lack of clear direction.
