They also had higher demands than the typical sensors in Cameras (and probably that game). They needed theirs to measure rotations 4 times faster than a typical camera gyro. Sure, you could get a small one that met their specs, but you have to remember that Nintendo wasn't planning on selling the fastest selling console ever. They were planning on making a console that would sell and be cheap enough that they would survive even if they only managed GC level of sales. |
When you look at disruption theory, leaving out things that you could sell as upgrades later makes a lot of sense for nintendo.
