    While it certainly can use Wiimotes or any Wii hardware, you can take it to the bank that they will use their own wands which have far superior motion sensing technology. No way it will use the last generation's hardware as its standard. This is a very early prototype that may be as much as 17 months away from release. They rushed to get the display controller to the public, and ignored the other stuff. Just look at the system and it's plainness. It looks like a friggin' portable CD player. No way it looks like that in the end. I'd also bet on the tablet to have wi-fi and have full internet features like the iPad and Xoom, and possibly its own SD slot.

    As for it being $300 or more, well so be it. That's half the price of the 2005 PS3, even less considering inflation.
