I thought it would be bad too, but once I saw the JoyCon functionalities, I just changed my bets. JoyCon is a true successor to the wii mote. And remember, what made Wii great was the Wii-Mote, now JoyCon is like a very, very, very improved version of WiiMote and much easier too use.

JoyCon has built-in IR Cam, so they can work anywhere and don`t need the IR bar Wii needed in order to work. HD Rumble can also bring some very interesting gaming mechanics if well used, I`m sure Nintendo is going to use it well.

What I think could harm sales initially is the price tag, but again, if public see value they are going to buy it, going for a very low price tag could hurt more than help. I don`t get why people get this idea that price matters so much, people do buy iPhone and other premium smartphones every year or two years, it won`t be a 299 USD price tag that are going to stop it.
