Microsoft had the first motion sensing controller and it never took off. Sony tried motion sensor with the eyetoy and it didn't take off. Nintendo's version is more advanced but history has shown that the novelty wears off, will it for Nintendo? Maybe and maybe not.
I'm 99% certain they'll make a Wii 2 within 3 years though.
And even if it does take off, $250 is still overpriced for old technology packaged with a glorified tech demo.

Haha.
I didn't miss any point, your the one who missed the fact that by Nintendo introducing their controller to the console market, it drove Sony to do the same...thus as I said changing gaming.
Now you want to divert it to a "Who did it first"
Sony and Microsoft never supported their efforts centrally with their hardware. Maybe if Sony bundled the Eye-Toy with every PS2, developers and publishers would support the platform. It was always marketed as another peripheral and above all you have to buy it and has history shows people don't really like buying extra's. I could have told them that they'd have modest success with them.
The 90's showed new peripheral add-ons don't sell. Nintendo, SEGA, SONY and Microsoft all found that out, some hard way. *cough*SEGA*cough*
Btw people were saying the DS would be just another novelty/gimmick from Nintendo and wouldn't last more then a year...proof though is that if you support a platform well enough with software and throw a cráp load of marketing behind it...it can work out even if it's a strange concept to grasp.
