And I'd bet MS and Sony will find a way to make better use of the technology than Nintendo has. Nintendo cashed in on a gimmick, MS and Sony have a way bigger strategic picture. They are building on being all around media and entertainment hubs rather than being a means to motion control jump a plumber into a mushroom.
Nintendo is lucky they have a lot of brand loyalty because personally I haven't had any reason to want a Nintendo product since the SNES when I was about 12 years old. Putting a screen on the controller will do little to change that.
