I don't think Motion Plus is going to be all that and all the Cheese.

     In my opinion, Wii Motion Plus is getting a lot of hype right now, but I don't think it is really going to have that large of an effect on increasing Wii sales and probably not that large of an effect on Wii titles that we are going to see in  the future.  I base this on watching this industry for a number of years and in that time I have seen several Nintendo projects that were supposed to be their next big thing come and go.  These have included items like the Game Boy Player and the E-card reader, Rob the Robot, the gun controller never living up to its full potential except in Duck Hunt, the Power Glove and the mat that you used in certain NES games (I forget whta it was called), so unless Wii Sports Resort and Motion Plus become bundled with the Wii at some point I just don't see it having much of an effect on Wii games.  It just slightly improves what you can already do on the Wii in my opinion, and I don't think that is a strong selling point.  What do you think?

 

Don't think it needs to be bundled to Wii to make an impact. Wii Play is selling pretty good... and Wii Sports is still selling in Japan.

Also, it doesn't have to be a strong selling point. Nintendo doesn't really need an additional strong selling point to sell Wii.
