@Capulous: Well, you actually really don't seem to disagree with me. You just look the thing upside down.
It's the part of interaction. What's the biggest complain you see about 3rd parties and Wii controls? That the games don't use the controls. Which means that controls are "the" thing?
Now, 3rd parties do use the controls, they just usually don't implement them properly, which results in bad interaction.
What people actually want, is new games made possible by Wii and new kind of interaction for games, made possible by Wiis controls.
It's no different from what it was in the 90's; the games were in 3D only after there was a 3D controller. People didn't buy consoles for their new controls, but the games they could play with them. Think about SM64 with D-pad.
@Gnac: Of course there's a possibility. If you're familiar with the second rule of thermodynamics, you'll know that anything is possible. But just because there's a possibility that pigs fly, doesn't mean we well ever see them fly.
It's a little same thing with Wii Remote and Balance Board, since we have a large number of peripherals that don't even remotedly touch their popularity, it's extremely unlikely, that either would have had similar success without the proprietary software.
