There seems to be this misconception that technology exists in a void. It does not. It has been 20 years since the Power Glove debut. And guess what? We've gone forward immensely since then. The Power Glove used sonar to detect the glove position, very basic flex sensors to detect if a finger was "flexed" or "unflexed", and zero accelerometers.
Were Nintendo to develop a glove controller for the next genration, it would probably look something like this internally: http://www.skyrender.net/gaming_glove_design.png
Granted, that's a very very basic design not accounting for all manner of additional components (a controller expansion port, for example), but it gets the basic idea across.
