Wii is also much cheaper and is entrenched in people's minds similar to the iPod. iRivers and the like are superior to iPods in terms of features (at least they were when I bought mine), but they aren't taking down the iPod anytime soon.
I would be surprised if Microsoft or Sony released any major motion control peripheral this generation. They might release something half-assed, but there's no way it's going to have a major impact. Great games have to be built from the ground up with motion control in mind and not simply tacked on (as the heaps of Wii shovelware prove).
