This was doomed from the start. By trying to make it more realistic they exposed the limits of technology.
A key problem is that the weight of a blade is a huge part of swordfighting. A light bladeless controller can't capture the the experience. Especially since there's no feedback from hitting another blade.
On the other hand they might be able to recoup their investment.
In the leadup to Star Wars 7 there's a huge potential market for a lightsaber duel game. There's still enough time to develop a tie in game, and I can see the tech being bought for over 500k.
