I think you have to consider the accessibility of swinging a controller around versus having a controller with dozens of buttons and two twiddly knobs and so on and so forth. Nintendo's looking to move beyond the traditional gamer demographic and attract more females and older people to videogaming, most of whom are intimidated by the complexity of current controllers, and the sizeable literacy gap in understanding how to play established genres.

The number of people who are not hardcore gamers is much larger than the number of people who are. If Nintendo can build a sufficiently sized audience (potentially larger than the PS3's) from this much bigger slice of the population, then getting ports of traditional console games is irrelevant. The new audience has cash and third-parties will move to create content for them. Also bearing in mind that they probably won't have to spend as much dough creating the UBER-RAEALISTIC!!!1 graphics and cutscenes and stuff that PS3 and X360 games will mostly require, because these non-traditional gamers aren't graphics whores.
