Like I've always said, I'm a future wii fan. At it's release and current state I don't see how it even compares to my ps3. But features like this really make the idea much more attractive. Now they just need to standardize this and build it right into the controllers. I feel that after this, the older wiiimote control is going to feel stale.

One major problem that I see with this is that some games are going to be using the features allowed by motion+. A necessary upgrade is pretty annoying. I don't know any other console that has ever done that, except maybe the 32X and we all know how that worked out.

Will consumers be into gaming enough to know that they should upgrade? I don't think so, but it won't really make a difference, they will just buy it when the gamestop etc employee tells them that a certain game they are planning to buy requires it. Like buying batteries for an electronic. Might decrease sales potential very slightly.

The N64 did it with the RAM pack, which was necessary for playing, amongst other games, Majora's Mask.

IIRC it wasn't necessary... just very useful.
