they had the idea before the wii, its just they didn't believe it would catch on..

the Guy's in R&D most likely did ,but the guy's that were in charge the CEO's may not have because publisher's may not have thought it would be a good Idea because of  past attempt's at motion controll's.

example:

PlayStation gamers are always looking for exciting new ways to control the onscreen action, but using a camera to track a player's body movement has not worked reliably, admits Sony.

 

So the next step was to work on way to fix the issue:

Sony's new idea is to plug a webcam into the console, and give the gamer a handheld wand similar to a pocket flashlight. The wand has a battery, a few mouse-like buttons and several different coloured LEDs that can be switched on and off in various combinations.

By pressing the buttons and waving the wand towards the webcam, the gamer can click to shoot aliens, drag-and-drop images on screen and navigate menus.

remember this is in  2005

I think the problem's were some were getting past the CEO's to go forward with the project.

the CEO's may have wanted to see how the Wii did in the Market?
