Lastly, this is a very important point; There does NOT need to be a Wii game in the picture to use the interface and/or middleware.


Except if a company is using Wii M+ libraires and is creating a motion control game in the first place, and has the choice of bringing it to the Wii with a 50 million plus install base, or a PS3 Purple wand base of maybe a million, the likelihood will be that most developers will bring it to the Wii and not to the PS3

Something like Fallout: New Vegas doesn't really give them the option of making a Wii version. That doesn't mean they won't want to add support for the interface. If its the future they'll have to use the interface anyway, so sooner is perhaps better than later.


That will only happen if a company feels its worth it to redo some of their older games for motion controls, however if one is building a game from scratch with the intent to use motion controls on it, they'll pick the larger install base of the Wiimote over the Purple wand
