Who will make before your console on a Wii? Does Microsoft or Sony?
The success of the Wii is more than evident. The Wii sells more worldwide than the other 2 together, however, success is fleeting, and while Nintendo has the edge when it comes to gaining new users and expand the market, various rumors suggest that both Microsoft and Sony are working in peripherals that could turn their consoles virtually Wiis, but with far superior machine.
It seems to be matter of time before PlayStation and Xbox 360 peripherals have fully sensitive to motion, however ... Who will get it before? Is it really important? The truth is that it looks like it could be key to remove market for Nintendo, but Mario's parents have much cash on hand and the ace in the sleeve to lower the price of Wii much as they want. In fact they are the only ones who make money from the first console (Sony and Microsoft have not yet managed to lower their components are sufficient) and room for "play" with the price is bestial.
The battle of the consoles and a privileged place in our living room right next to the TV is on fire. My bet Nintendo is still clear, but not grant them much merit. They needed a crisis to completely change the focus of the company and succeed. Sony never had this need because it won from the beginning and Microsoft, in its place, it's financial muscle to pull up to succeed. No matter who takes 2 generations of consoles without eating a donut. Few companies in the world can afford such luxuries.

Sony already has many social peripherals such as DDR mats, microphones for sing star, eye toy and full game series.
I do not think the issue is merely peripheral.
