Its apparent that most folk here didn't take the time to do any research on the MotionPlus accessory. The accessory is not mandatory for any of the announced games (not sure about Wii Resort). So no it would not segment the market at all as a regular wiimote would do. It serves to enhance the gaming experience. Yes it would've been nice if this were available from the get go, but I suspect technical/costs issues prevented taht.
For you people knocking on the Wii for its lack of graphical horsepower. You really need to realise that you "hardcore" gamers aren't the only game in town.

I have just packed away the 360 to focus on some Wii gaming. No I'm not a granny or what you trolls claim through your sheer brilliance is the Wii demographic. A good game is a good game regardless of the visuals.
