Forums - Nintendo - Wii Motion Plus is Too Accurate

@Ninjakido & 786-Ali - It was mentioned that a Motion+ accessory would be bundled with Wii Sports Resort, so yes it does come with a game.

As for the point of an accessory not selling well with a game, need I mention Wii Play? Came with a controller, sold through the roof for a pretty medicore to sucky game.

The funny thing here is, that if Motion+ is successfully mastered and as accurate as claims say, no matter what anyone does next gen for motion controls, they can only be as good as Motion+. THis pulls any power or steam for motion controls next gen. People will say "well, we already have this. THis works like last gen stuff." Pretty much for controls, MS and Sony will be hit with what Nintendo was hit regarding Wii graphics.

 

Edit - Ali - 50 mil is possibe. Remember, 4 controls max with motion plus = a max possibe of 200m motion+ units for 100% attach, 50m is only 25% attach.

Wii play sold well becaue it had a controller, which is necessary for playing. Wii motion plus is just an optional add-on which most people won't even know about

Wii is becoming more and more attractive for my tastes.
I agree, better a precise tool that can be tweaked if needed than a coarser one that cannot be made more precise even when needed.

How do you know this? Do you somehow know how many people were unaware of the seperately available controller for $10 less? They're usually sold on the same shelf, after all. I personally paid the extra $10 for Wii Play, because the game is easily worth that price. I know many who felt the same.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Fair point. Yet, also understand that the device comes with Wii Sports 2, a title that EVERY Wii owners knows from the original bundled game. Most will understand "Wii Sports 2" on the shelf, buy it for the game, and then get the Motion Plus that it comes with. Once they figure out how to use it, see the difference, there's the strong possibility that they'll want one for each controller they own. I think we can agree that Nintendo knows what they're doing when it comes to marketing.

True, but that was my initial point. The peripheral will only get popular if bundled with a game, oce people are aware of it then it moght sell on its own. But I agree with NinjaKido, they should have kept WM+ till the next wii so that there would be another incentive to buy the next Wii, otherwise the children and casual gamers won't buy the next one as they'll see no difference

This one is the truth my friends!

I believe Motion Plus will be a success, for these two lines:

 

- Casual: "oh! A shiny new Wii Sports! hey! I can play frisbee!"

- HardCore: "A lifetime of lightsabers fights just one silly game away? Hell YEAH!"



"How hard would it be to randomize facial features and skin tones? That's what we want, to feel like we're killing hundreds of different people. Not a bunch of clones or twins. We want to know, deep down, that there are hundreds of grieving mothers out there, lamenting the terror of our dreaded blade."

 I'm with you on that one. Hopefully it will be under $20.

I hope to god Nintendo won't try to sell WM+ at a premium price... 10 bucks would be more than enough, I mean Wiimotes are 40, Nunchuks 20, so that's already 60 dollars or euros for a single complete controller. If you wanna have some 4-player action, that'll set you back 240 bucks, almost as much as the Wii itself costs! :o Add to that the still-unknown price of WM+... yikes.
