This is a supposed "controller leak."  I in no way believe this is real, but I do think the final design is probably going to look pretty similar.  I think it'll be a lot more minimalistic then people think, and it will not be the sort of thing that should bother the expanded market.  The standard gaming controls can pretty much be ignored when you ahve a shiney screen in your hand flashing "touch me here to see stuff happen!" 


while better than the other mock ups i've seen i'm still 100% confident that my mother (wii only console she's ever owned) wouldn't touch that.

on the plus side -- assuming it is a touch screen mario paint is all but confirmed already.

I don't think your mom would shy away from this. Its no that much more complicated than the massively popular touch devices out now. Additionally, the new device will still have a Wiimoteplus and offer tons of new multimedia functionality. That additional set of features will pull in the mass consumer/casual user far more than a slightly more complicated controller based on the idea in the pic.
