i'm not exactly sure what motion plus is but generaly peripherals non essential to gameplay never get majoirty userbase adoption . Nintendo would either need to give em away for free or sell them for $5-$7.5 to sell to a large % of the install base.

It doesn't matter how much this technolgoy cost a couple of years ago it's about how valuable to consmer decided it is to their gaming experience , unless Nintendo makes Motion + Mandatory of all new games it's going to fail to get any real support.

 

You realize that that wii fit is essentially a 90$ periphrial with a game included that reached 20% of wii's market base. A cheap periphrial that had a real use in games could garner lot's of support on the Wii especially if packaged with a game much like wii play has done.

 

Wii-Fit cannot be compared to motion + they entirely different things  Wii-Fit isn't even a peripheral the balance board is  and the Wii isn't in any way dependant on Wii-Fit for the gaming experience however Motion + can improve the gaming experience it's essentialy an optional upgrade.

20% adoption is pretty low for a mandatory/important upgrade.
