Looks good. I sort of thought the WM could already do this. Guess I will need to look into what it is actually capable of.

I wonder if Nintendo would consider replacing the existing WM with one that has the WM+ build it. It probably wouldn't cost that much more and it would guarantee widespread adoption of this technology this generation. However, the 45+ million console owners might be a bit annoyed that their controllers are out of date. Even with a

Yeah, I am guessing there are going to be around over 100 million wiimotes in people's homes when MotionPlus is released. If Nintendo wants it to be standard they better sell it for cheap. Well Nintendo be nice enough to not think about profiting off its consumers when they should have the tech incorporated from the get-go? I doubt it. But time will tell.

If they could sell it for about $5-8 at retail it could take off. That's mass market pricing.

I think people underestimate how well this will sell at $15 to $19 ...

As a guess, I suspect that most of the 4 player "Mini/Party Game" collections will make the Wii MotionPlus optional, not use it at all, or use it in mini-games where people take turns playing. As a result, the vast majority of games that require the Wii MotionPlus will be single player or two player games. I think it is fair to assume that Wii Sports: Resort will (probably) sell for $60 with a single Wii MotionPlus accessory bundled (just like Wii Play) and adding an additional Wii MotionPlus for $15 to $20 brings the total to $75 to $80 which is less than Wii Fit or Guitar Hero (which are both amazingly popular).
