Will Motion+ go the way of the Balance Board, Wii Speak?

WiiSpeak has been left for dead dead, but it doesn't bother me it is a very half-baked peripheral. The zapper was another screw up. The BB on the other hand is well supported, and I think Ninty uses it in their games when it makes sense. I for one am glad they don't tack it onto every game in a gimmicky way. WM+ is to early to say, but I think despite what they say Nintendo knows that with stuff like Natal they need to keep WM+ alive if only for PR purposes. And this is coming from a guy who is pretty sure Natal and Sony motion will fail because they are too late in the lifecycle. Still Nintendo needs to be seen as the place to go for motion, and they can't afford to lose the little hardcore left. So far I think the market has responded about right, well thought out good peripherals find support while lame brained ones (like vitality and WiiSpeak) will suffer a quick death.
