Nintendo has always been the industry maverick. The closest Nintendo ever got to "normal" as the games industry would see it was back with the SNES, otherwise, they've always gone against the grain. For the NES and Wii, it was to their benefit, for the cartridge-equipped N64 and the no-online GC, it was much to their disadvantage. Even with the Wii, however, you can see the errors that crippled the GameCube in spades. A backwards online system, an erratic first-party release strategy, and sour 3rd-party relations.
I'd imagine Nintendo has something up their sleeve. The "normals" as you call them largely want normal entertainment. By and by, they don't want space marines or elfen warriors, galaxy-jumping plumbers or badass archaeologists. Look at the top-selling stuff across the consoles: a relatively down-to-earth gangster game, fitness, sports, go-karts, and rock n' roll. If Nintendo can provide the superior model for normal entertainment, they can get the normals to upgrade.
Studies have shown just how sensitive the Wii remote actually is, add motion plus into the equation, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in R&D, then put in the kind of physics that the PS360 can do, and you could have a worthy successor to Wii Sports in terms of immersion, and light the fire all over again.
