Also, it'll comes packaged with Wii Sports Resort.
And honestly, I don't think $30 is all that bad for this accesory.

And how many copies of that will you buy? Cause that's the real issue. I bought the Zapper with Zelda for €20 because I liked the game. I might buy this for the fencing alone for €30, but the thing is that I don't really want to do that alone.
Even if the thing costs €20 by itself (and considering the current price of the nunchuck and the classic, that'd be "cheap"), and bundled with the game costs €30, it's still more than €80 to update 4 controlers. And if the most fun is on simultaneous multiplayer (which judging by the show, for some games it is), the game is €50+ not €30. This also pushes the price for a "full" controler to €80, and that doesn't even alow you to play some of the classic games (that'd take an extra €20).

I think alone it will be cheaper than the nunchuck, like $10-15 |
The MEMS gyroscopes used in the device used to cost around $30 in large quantities by the end of 2007. Invensense, the company behind this announcement seems to be working on hitting a target price of $10, which they believed a few years back would be the sweet spot for the market to explode.
I honestly don't think this will be cheaper than a Nunchuck... that's unless they're ripping us off on the Nunchuck. Gyros are far more expensive than accelerometers.
Depending on price, the device is either a success or a huge blunder as far as I'm concerned.
