He's right, they made a camera deal last year, Israel i believe.
There are currently atleast 3 different versions of "new wiimote style controllers", whether its the ninja sword looking one or just a camera.
They will all fail. If you want a wiimote that has pointer control and physical movement tracking capability there is only one, because Nintendo copyrited and licensed this specific multiple function design, well you have no choice.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
