Malstrom has stumbled upon a interesting question, here.

As a game, I have tried to come up with ‘the most important question’ whose answer would determine the future of the game industry. Aside from questions of whether Sony and Microsoft adopting motion controllers, I think the most important question, as of this time, is: “Will Nintendo integrate motion plus into new controllers or will it always be an accessory?” This answer to a seemingly unworthy question would drastically determine the path of the game industry. We will likely find the answer to this question at E3. If the answer is integration, bam, we have entered the next generation of Wii, so to say. If motion plus stays as an accessory, then Nintendo intends for a new console to eventually come instead of upgrading the customer experience by upgrading all the controllers.

I believe motion plus will be integrated. This might be one of the reasons for the delay.

I've been wondering this myself because I remember the Rumble Pack being a addon then Sony comes out with a controller with it built-in (Dual Shock). Now every controller has it built-in.

With Nintendo's Q&A talks of prolonged lifespan of a hardware, I don't think they intend for a new console to eventually come. No, but I still have to wonder since they'd have to ballance the add-on and the new wiimotes respectivilly. If they did I'd definitely get it.

Oh, I can hardly wait for E3 to come!
