But consider that a body suit that's affordable is a loooonggggg ways off, so please don't and I wouldn't go to that extent in using that as a reference to what is great.
What I would really think about is the good of all the sensors on what is essentially a stick. Star Wars games made for this could be WONDERFUL when doing Jedi battles (light saber in your hand), sword fighters and fighters in general will get a nice reality boost (makes me think of that SEGA Genesis foot pad they had for fighters, except this time the power is in the hand). There are endless possibilties to what it could do. Baseball, tennis, you name it, you can probably use the controller to emulate bats, rackets, etc.
In short, sure its the shape of a TV remote, but look at what the controller can do vs. what your TV remote can do. TV remote: Change channels, rewind, eject, nothing really. Revolution Controller: much much more.
