FYI Miyamoto has said in interview that its possible it will come packed in with Wii-remotes standard. And that you just have to get one for your existing Wii-Remotes.

This is a pretty good plan. I sort of see this as the equivalent to the N64 memory pack. It'll be required for many games in 2 years.

 

Yeah he said in another interview that he would like it to become the standard that developers use as well, so with that kind of thinking they almost have to. 

Personally, I would like to see them offer a 2-pack and 4-pack of motion plus at a reduced price over the single if they do that, try to help folks catch up.

Nintendo should just upgrade the current remote (and maybe even Nunchuk) integrated into one unit to make the feature standard.

Given the issues they've constantly had with production, it seems unlikely, but if ALL controllers in the future were upgraded (like transitioning from SixAxis to DS3), then it's no longer an additional strain on production lines.

The availability of the clip on already means all existing remotes can be upgraded, but if Motion Plus is to be the future standard, having every Remote sold requiring a Motion Plus clip on and/or a Nunchuk is getting a little ridiculous since that comes to $80-90 per set.

 

Yes, they'd have to tweak the pricing a bit. This may be one area where nintendo might have to take a loss monetarily. A small price to pay in the end.
