Wtf's your deal dude, all noname asked was how puffy got ahold of those last couple bits of info about the streaming processes and screen resolution of the controller, cool it bro.  I would like some confirmation as well, because every single site reporting on this has not mentioned a word about any specifications of anything.  All thats been written about until today has been rumors, and all thats been confirmed as far as most of us know is that a new console is coming in 2012 with an e3 reveal, nothing more.

So you think developers will continue to utilize controllers from the previous generation, notwithstanding their open hostility to the Wiimote and the fact that wiimotes are likely not going to be packaged in with the new console?

The system will probably be backwards compatible. The new games will not.

Not only does the whole concept swayed them away from the Wii's blueprint of success (Blue Ocean strategy: Family Friendly, Simplicity, Attractive price), the controller is too extreme even for Nintendo
In addition, I believe Nintendo is backing themselves up into a corner because in the long run, they're merging the HANDHELD Consoles and HOME Consoles

They could've easily updated the Wii just as Sony and MS did with their systems or even Nintendo themselves with DS to DSi
They still could've done a price cut, colors, bundles, Player's Choice, and/or even released the Vitality Sensor

Not necessarily, if the new console is backwards compatible then every wii game made that requires users to get up and be active will still be there, they could be essentially combining the two concepts in an attempt to recapture the hardcore gaming segment while also maintaining its current user base.  Brilliant if you ask me.

Maybe it's just me but I am not hyped about it whatsoever.

But I'm extremely skeptical that new games will still use the old controller. No sytem has ever done that, as far as I know, and judging from how lackluster Motion Plus, and even Move, support has been, I have a hard time seeing devs making a concerted effort to make motion games on what will be the old controller.

Who knows, maybe nintendo wants to continue to support the wiimote and create games for both the more traditional controller (if you can call it that) and the wiimote while creating games that support both.  Im sure this is how they will move forward.

I'm not so sure that these are still viable options for the Wii, long-term. They might each boost the system's sales in the short term, but long term a system needs new games to keep any serious momentum going, and the release schedule is becoming increasingly barren. Third parties have jumped ship completely by this point. Nintendo might not have any options to remedy that aside from starting afresh. I'm not happy about it, but I don't think they have any other options anymore.

Perhaps, and for what it's worth I hope you're right. I'm just not convinced that's the case.

Why not? It's a hell of a userbase. What's up? PS-->PS2-->PS3 compatibility to controllers from the previous gen. The Wiimoteplus is good enough for motion gaming. The new console will not be packaged with any controller (or two models, with and without new-controler) , imo, to keep costs down. A Wii owner could use the classic controler or the Wiimoteplus and later buy the costly new controler. There will be casual-motion games, imo, everything else would be dump.
