It looks like Nintendo going to fail by its own. Both of the company Sony and Microsoft focusing(copying) on the controller now. Will Nintendo lose the war because it lacks of support on the other side beside controller? Will Sony and Microsoft regain their market share again?

This is not the war of HD or SD, this not the war of Next-Gen, This is the War of Controller.

Nope, afterthoughts almost never pay, especially in a case like this, where developers should start to learn making a good use of a new feature, that, what's worst, is optional. Sony and MS are right trying, but they'll gather benefits next gen, not this one.

The only thing that gives nonstandard controllers any chance of becoming attractive for developers is being attached to a ridiculously successful game that will put it into the hands of a substantial portion of console owners. Wii Fit is such a game. I don't think that Banjo-Kazooie is.

Microsoft might be able to improve their odds by bundling their remote with more than one game or giving some sort of enticements to third parties, but I don't know if they're that determined to get this new controller into the maximum possible amount of 360 homes. As for Sony, I have serious doubts as to whether there is anything behind those rumors. The picture I saw is clearly a joke.
