They could still innovate with the games rather than the remote.

Ah, I think you hit upon something, or perhaps made me realize:

 

Casuals would have no, or very little idea that this remote was a Wii-Ripoff, as casuals haven't necessarily been informed about the Wii or the Wii-mote.

 

We can never underestimate casual knowledge. First rule of marketing. 

The problem is, casuals are largely drawn by price and non-intimidating games. They would most likely not purchase a more expensive console that has mostly 'hardcore' games + an additional peripheral just to have motion and better graphics.

Edit: concidering most casuals don't even know the X360 has HD, I doubt they'll know about the new 'X-Mote' anyway.
