I guess it’s not so much a rumor as sound business practice (and scamming), but as long as it’s not confirmed, I’ll continue calling it a rumor. The Register has heard (although they decline to quote the Nintendo rep as saying so) that the big N is planning on integrating the precision enhancement accessory into the Wiimote in the future. That’s a natural course of action (it guarantees yet another wave of Wiimote sales), but I’m not sure I believe anyone at Nintendo would be so callous as to mention it only a couple days after they announced the thing in the first place. We’ll keep you posted.
