The MEMS gyroscopes used in the device used to cost around $30 in large quantities by the end of 2007. Invensense, the company behind this announcement seems to be working on hitting a target price of $10, which they believed a few years back would be the sweet spot for the market to explode.
I honestly don't think this will be cheaper than a Nunchuck... that's unless they're ripping us off on the Nunchuck. Gyros are far more expensive than accelerometers.
Depending on price, the device is either a success or a huge blunder as far as I'm concerned.
Reality has a Nintendo bias.
