Why didn't Sony hype their wiimote at CES this year?

The only reason Sony did not show off the wand at CES was because of 3D. As I siad above, they wanted to show they are the leaders in 3D. The Playstations job at CES was to prove that. PS3 is the first 3D source provider in the market, with games, movies, and music videos. It also will be the platfrom for digital delivery, of content to all Sony devices.

As others have said, Sony has a massive catalogue of products compared to Microsoft. Now is not the time and place for the Wand to be showed. For that they have Dice February, GDC March, PS Gamers Day May, E3 June.

Natal vs PS Motion

CES has given me a better insight on Natal, and I am way less impressed now. The ability to track movment at 30fps is going be a massive letdown. PS2's Eye Toy tracked at that speed, and that was one of its biggest problems. With PSEYE Sony's first and formost goal was the ability to track faster. The PSEYE can track at 120fps giving the player perfect 1 to 1 control. That is why the movment at last years E3 was so much better on PS motion than Natal. That is why PS Motion will be the best motion controller for gamers this generation.

With that said, I am still not a big fan of motion controls, and I do not think that either of the new techs will do anything but give people a option to the Wii. What it is really going to come down to is who makes the better software to take advantage of what they have. I will be getting both day one to support the development of new tech, and we willl see were things go from there.
