CAGiversary!
I haven't heard anyone mention anything positive about the Wiimote pricing, so I figure I'll go ahead and point something out that may be overlooked.
Yeah the Wiimote/Nunchuck combo is abit on the pricey side, but that's because we're viewing it as one controller and not two. While I'm the first to admit that perhaps packaging them as such isn't the best idea...
Your VC Controller plugs into a wiimote for it to work. This, is a work of genius and the reason why you'll be able to buy the controller for $18 or so. Instead of adding, basically, redundant hardware into the VCC it just piggybacks onto an existing piece of hardware. You're only paying for the bare minimum hardware.
This bodes really well for other future attachments such as the Zapper (I see no reason why it won't have a similar price) or say a nice arcade joystick.
I think the seperate sales of the Wiimote and Nunchuck is a bad thing - the price is too high - however I also think we'll see a lot more good than bad because of the decision to 'customize' the Wiimote with attachments.
