As far as complaining about it not being in the original Wiimote... Hey, don't you reckon that Ninetendo has spent some of that gazillion dollars profit on R&D? This is undoubtedly a technology that didn't exist back when the Wii started out. Besides, it doesn't seem like it will be required to play a game, it will just improve the game experience and you will have the choice to opt in or out. Like getting a new HD TV, the shows are the same old crap, only sharper. You have to decide if you want to pay for the difference or not. |
I wouldn't assume that to be true. It's just as likely that this tech came out of the original wiimote R&D, but was cut from the final product to keep costs low. Now they can release it as an add-on, and the customers who want to pay X dollars for the extra sensitivity can do so while the price of a normal wiimote stays cheap (relatively speaking) for everybody else.
