I've been thinking, what if the balance board and vitality sensor hint at where Nintendo is going with its next console, beyond just motions controls, what if Nintendo's next direction is to make a console that senses not just a person's movements and external actions, but also tries to sense a persons internal state to help influence the game. For example, your health could affect the state of your game character, if you have low stamina, your character could end up etting winded easily during the game, or if you are feeling angry, the character could go berserk.
