I remember people loving it too...

People tend to overestimate these technology companies, particularly when it comes to Nintendo. I'm not saying this won't work, but aren't you giving it to them a little early? It's unbelievable, that after two years people aren't willing to give Nintendo any credit whatsoever, they've been working with motion controls for a long time, this is new in MS's hands(no pun intended).

This is the fallacy. The Wii didn't success *just* because of motion controls - the Wii succeed because of the entire package, and its integration: motion control, screen pointing, one-handed remote, WiiSports, small unit, cheaper launch price, VC, Zelda, smart marketing, ...

MS are *much* better off designing their next console to use motion control from the very start (and maybe also being 360 backwards-compat) - rather than releasing a motion control range for the 360 now.

...

If the E3 announcement is a *new console*, which may/not be 360 compat - then its a different story.

All motion control now on the 360 will do, is force Sony to do something similar - and maybe accelerate the release of the Wii HD. And damage MS's potential for their next console (unless its a LONG way off).
