No, it does not mean this, imo. Rumors also said that the cafe is compatible to the wiimotes and balance boards and every new-controler has a sensor-bar. That new controler just ads another possiblility of playing games. Ninty are not stupid, they will not cut the backwards-compatibility.

So you think developers will continue to utilize controllers from the previous generation, notwithstanding their open hostility to the Wiimote and the fact that wiimotes are likely not going to be packaged in with the new console?

The system will probably be backwards compatible. The new games will not.

Why not? It's a hell of a userbase. What's up? PS-->PS2-->PS3 compatibility to controllers from the previous gen. The Wiimoteplus is good enough for motion gaming. The new console will not be packaged with any controller (or two models, with and without new-controler) , imo, to keep costs down. A Wii owner could use the classic controler or the Wiimoteplus and later buy the costly new controler. There will be casual-motion games, imo, everything else would be dump.
