Ever play Marble Madness? Even with a Game Genie, you'll find yourself swinging your controllers around your head making a Xena Warrior Princess-like war cry.
THAT is why historically they removed cords from controllers; by the way (little known embellished fact loosely based on nothing.) Some tech dad was like "God damnit we need to fix this, these controllers are expensive and patching drywall is time consuming." There was a vote to eliminate Marble Madness from the world period, securing it in a tomb of concrete but it required a major vote and it fell flat because everyone was out that day patching drywall from swung controllers.
