I think the only thing Natal and The Wand will do is slow the Wii down by a lot.
But not cause it trouble by any means. It will continue to sell well, just not as well mainly due to more competition.

Hmm...why? The motion controls are launching at the end of 2010 IIRC (I know Natal is). In 2011 the Wii should slow down regardless and the Wii will have been long established by that time anyway and we all know the end of the year is always huge for the Wii, competition or not...

Sony's motes are dropping in Spring.

I honestly don't think the new motion controllers will impact the Wii at all, at least not outside of Japan.  In Japan it could effect the Wii vs ps3 battle, but even then, most people that care about motion control probably own Wiis, given its install base is twice that of the ps3's. 

In Japan it will be the software available for either platofrm that matters the most, like usual.
