I am personally offended that a company like Sony that prides itself in being a tech innovator makes such a blatant ripp off.

That being said, this Wiimote v2 will not have an impact unless it is being bundled as the primary input device for all future Playstation 3 sales. Otherwise the userbase will be too low, as seen with Balance Board or WM+.

There are at the very least 22.5 million balance boards around (=sales of Wii Fit), not taking into account all those that bought Wii Fit Plus with the balance board (there are over 10 million WFP sold but how many with balance board is not known. My pessimistic guess would be at the very least 10%)

There are at the very least 14 million WM+ users around (=sales of Wii Sports Resort so far), not taking into account people who haven't bought Sports Resort but bought WM+ as a standalone or bundled in order to play Tiger Woods or one of the tennis games. All this in less than a year.

Do you consider these userbases as too low? 

Yes it is. As opposed to the whole Wii user base. Look at the amount of games made that exclusively use them as input device.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree , I think the amount of games exclusively for these input devices has nothing to do with their penetration.
