With how successful the Wii has been I wouldn’t expect Nintendo to release their next system with a conventional controller; and I am anticipating Nintendo to continue forward producing new/unusual user interfaces for their consoles. With that said, an earlier interview from Miyamoto makes me think that Nintendo will probably continue with the Wiimote and Nunchuck (along with whatever else they do) and these devices might be "enhanced" (for lack of a better word) to include more of the functionality of a conventional controller.
Essentially, while he didn’t phrase it this way, the interview implied that the Wiimote was purposefully designed with as few of buttons as possible to encourage developers to use motion controls where possible; and that Miyamoto didn’t (necessarily) think that buttons were an obsolete input device, or that future input devices wouldn’t have more buttons than the Wiimote did. (I recognize that I probably butchered what he said, but I’m not looking for the interview ATM).
