the wii remote is not comparable, the wii balance board is however.
The eyetoy did get a lot of games, well a lot compared to other peripherals. Im sure theres about 10 dedicated games for it, and probably the same again with minor support, but very few of these are actually worth playing and non 'define' the eyetoy. Typical of a sony product, its put out some nice hardware onto the market and is expected to make its own way with third party support and it just didnt come.
The wii balance board not only comes with a game that is worth the outlay for, its also a game that has a massive appeal, especially to non gamers, be that a non gamer who owns a wii, or the non gamer who lives with a more common gamer who owns a wii.
Nintendo showed they were putting their weight behind it too, giving the game and board as much E3 exposure as their flagship game, Super Mario Galaxy. You didnt see sony doing that with the eyetoy. They do seem to be changing their ways a little with heavier backing of Singstar and The Eye of Judgement, although i think the latter was a utter waste of time.
