BTW one of the Wii MEMS was designed by an italian, Benedetto Vigna, at STM Microelectonics ( the other supplier is Analog Devices ).
Here an interesting article that speak about the genesis for whoever is interested :

And the correction :

I found of interest the timing of the approach between Nintendo and STM Microelectonic.
The first approach was in march 2005 the first prototype was given to Nintendo just before the E3 seems.
Oh and from a comment in the correction article seems like in mid 2007 was already known that Invensense would be suppling Nintendo with a gyrosope.
