I'd buy that argument more if there were more great titles for the Wii (which has been around ages now) that really used it's remote.
(And I don't believe it's because the Wii is under powered in any way. Yes it's not a powerful console by todays standards but people have managed to create great, compelling games with less power than the Wii has.)
> Maybe not, but the physical sensors could be attached to a structure resembling a bracelet. Make it wireless and aesthetically pleasing, and I could see myself wearing one without feeling silly.
I wasn't really thinking about making it look great, just looking at the pictures there are a fair number of sensors in non-convenient places (higher up the arm than the wrist and the diagram shows them all over the body). Maybe they'll improve it but I'm not convinced that you'd get a really good range of movements monitored without considerable coverage.
