if they mean I can't even use a wiimote with motion plus attached then there is even less of a reason to get Wii U as I'd have to buy all new controllers anyway...
I wouldn't mind all this stuff if there was actually any support left for their current home console... as it is I'm kinda left in the dust...

hardware BC was a good selling point imo.  i don't have any all inclusive wii motes with motion plus.  if i have to rebuy everything i'm going to be very much less likey to buy into a WiiU.

yea i'm happy too.  sucks when new gen starts and your like great i have four pointless controllers and god knows what else amount of stuff i bought that will never get used again

 

i do need to get some more motion plus add ons though.  only have 1 so far.  guess i'll have 5 controllers since going to get that zelda one.  too tempting to pass up

 

remember those graphs when consoles come out to show which is cheapest.  you know having to buy 4 controlers and so on to max out system and all that jazz that sony and microsoft popped out.  well looks like the wii u will hav e$0 in that category
