I think it's entirely feasible that Nintendo wants to get a feel of the capabilities as well as the limits of their motion sensing before implementing that technology into a popular franchise (which, if bombed along with poorly-researched controls, would destroy the franchise, and thus, Nintendo)
I believe Nintendo knows what they're doing, and I also believe Nintendo knows that they are depriving so many "hardcore gamer" of titles they truly desire. I'm confident we'll see a change in their slew of titles in the next few years or so.
