A good idea on how to launch the motion-plus

This is the first time since I got my Wii at launch that I have ever doubted Nintendo. I fully expected better motion control someday but that day was Wii 2.

This thing will have about as much penetration as the Zapper. I will be packed with a very small mini game. Think Crossbow Training, not Wii Sports. The only 3rd party games to use it will be like Wii Ski.

After that failure to produce enough balance boards for Wii Fit and the continued shortage of consoles this it what they are doing? Yikes. I hope they put this out early to get the bad news out of the way before something big at the presentation.

 

Failure in the sense that you aren't happy.

Wiifit has sold 5.2 million and the Zapper 2.1 million.

Nintendo tries to make money.

 

One of the biggest points of the Wii for Nintendo was to avoid the "Razor" problem that MS and Sony face. (Give the razor to sell the blades.)  The problem is the games aren't enough to recoup the losses.  Another problem is that $5 off a third party game isn't that big of a deal when your losing $160 per console.

Nintendo sells a game with a peripheral to make money and be competitive.
