Yeah, but how much will the thing cost?

(tags game, hardware, Wii, controller)

... and no, I'm not talking about the 75000 yen Playstation 3.

I'm talking about that Wii controller. This is Nintendo we are talking about. When was the last time Nintendo came out with unproven hardware tech that turned out to be good?

R.O.B. was a gimmick. Virtual Boy was just a pain on the eyes. Game Boy and Dual Screen can't be used as objections because LCD screens and touch screens have been in use years before. I'm giving them a pass on the light guns because the tech hasn't really improved.

Really. What controller on the market (PC, console, etc) is like the Wii controller, which can sense position and angle and movement in 3d space? It looks to me that Nintendo is up to bat with another new tech. Will Nintendo get the hardware right? Will it cost less than 10000 yen per controller?
