That's plausible. I'd also like to suggest that they may of revealed Motion Plus eariler than they orginally intended. Everything else they talked about at the E3 conference is for 2008. I think they bumped the Motion Plus announcement as a pre-emptive strike in light of all the X-mote, Newton, Einstien rumors. If you go to Motus's website, they're advertising how the Wii Remote can't do the things the Motion Plus can. (Before it was announced) I think that part of the reason Wii Music seemed so akward. Showing it after the Motion Plus just made people wonder why wouldn't it be using it. I don't think they orginally intended to announce it so soon.
