Packing in the Power Pad didn't help it move...actually if I recall the "Power Pack" was ridiculously expensive when compared to the basic(mario) and intermediate (Mario/Duck Hunt) pack-in.
The power pack, was only eclipsed in poor sales performance by the R.O.B pack in it replaced.
That doesn't make a great case for the fit board being a good Wii Pack-in with Wii Sports/Fit.
Also, I feel that while the technology is way more advanced that the power pad or power glove, I don't think the analog motion tracking this offers has much more than auxiliary use in gaming. Perhaps I'm not being too imaginative, but the majority of designers out there aren't either. We'll see some stealth games support this (maybe), the odd kids game, and endless exercise iterations, but I just don't see this control scheme to be any more important than rumble.
Sure, it adds to immersion, but its not required to complete the experience.
