Thanks, I was starting to wonder if I was the only one that understood that.
Hard to believe that they won't be present in some capacity, especially with the rumors of Wii backwards compatibility which I think everyone tends to believe at this time. With the rumors of the gamepad type device with a touchscreen also serving as a Wii sensor bar, I wouldn't be surprised to see a seperate Wii like controller ship for the thing with motion capabilities.
So perhaps the rumor means it just won't be integrated into this controller we're speculating about, rather than just not being there at all for the system
It sounds like a very promising idea.
