Yeah, this is basically what I'm expecting. WiiHD with improved motion detection, and ideally a controller option that... well, isn't a Wiimote.

And yeah, after I made my earlier post, I later realized that whatever plans they might have originally had for the next console date were probably able to be pushed back a few years because of Move/Kinect, which is actually kinda nice, and probably an argument in favor of the route Sony and Microsoft went, though they might not have gone that route had Nintendo not invested in motion control the way they did in the first place.
