I think where Sony and MS will fail is not throwing their full weight behind the controls. Nintendo used Mario 64 to sell analogue controls whilst still keeping the D-Pad just in case. Nintendo has added motion to all their major franchises this gen and created some new ones to make motion the new standard.
I also think people are underestimating everything else Nintendo have done with the joypad this gen.
The IR was genius. Interesting that Wii Sports doesn't use the pointer at all except menus.
Chopping the controller in half was a great move that adds for more flexibility and comfort.
The speaker was a great move too and I wouldn't be suprised if we have better sound and a headphone socket next gen. I can see Wii 2 Fit making people jog round the block while the Wii 2 tracks their speed and coaches them along the way.
