I have doubts. What is the next step forward? The Wii remote with the Wii motion plus will be one to one. What else is there? As you have stated, Nintendo may take a sideways step. If anyone remembers the motion controllers that have been announced, 3rd party. One could be broken apart and was demonstrated using Lego Starwars. The other was demonstrated on stage with a PS3. Yet before these controllers could even reach retail Nintendo revealed the Wii motion plus that gave the Wii remote one to one movements effectively crushing the competition.
Secondly, if Sony and Microsoft enter into the motion controller race their controllers may be a step or two behind Nintendo. This would severly hamper the console throughout the generation and their would be nothing they could do about it. I do not forsee the two of them wanting to go down that path. They may try motion controls but I believe that they will stick to what they know best, dual analog. Developers are use to these kinds of controllers are would rather spend time making games that use those controllers rather than experiment with motion controls, just look at the Wii 3rd party support for reference. Theres more that I could add. I could even write a paper on this subject but I'm going to stop here.
If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
