1) Adopted by MS and Sony, it would look desperate and sad, and simply validate everything Nintendo's been doing.

2) As a 3rd party, or late in console life, add on, it would not be seen as
standard equipment. Developers wouldn't make games for it, or at least not devoted to it (which is what you really need), and so gamers wouldn't bother buying it.

3) By the time it is released, the Wii will be retailing for $9.95. So who needs it?

 1) It is not a company of MS or Sony it is not their choice...What can those two say against it?

"We don't want it?" 

 2) They will make games for it (the company itself) and probably third party games like Rayman Rabbits 2 will be playable with it. It will be good for developpers like Ubisofts RR2 who probably sell more games with it.

3) I don't know when it will release :s. 


1)The point I was trying to make is that MS or Sony won't adopt it as a standard device - ie a new pack in controller. If they did, they would take a huge PR hit.

2) How many games can they make for it? And how fast? And how good could they be? By the time such a controller was ready for market with a handful of games we'd be into 2008 at least. 3rd parties wouldn't develop for it (unless offered a bundle of cash upfront, which I doubt the developer has, and question whether MS or Sony would be willing) until they saw enough of them sold to justify a title. That would make it very hard for the peripheral to become a must-have, unless it was, somehow, backwards compatable with existing games.
