Well the reason why they didn't stick with tradition because they wanted everyone to start "on the same page". Imagine if the Revolution's shell was going to be the controller, that means that anyone that has ever held an N64 controller or (better yet) a Gamecube controller would feel right at home, and would have no trouble picking it up and start playing. Like I said before "on the same page", Nintendo wanted to make something that will sorta unfamiliarize with everybody. No gaming market has used a motion sensor, Nintendo will be the first. So anyone that hasn't picked up a Nintendo controller, they won't feel all too intimidated because the controller looks like a regular TV controller (this is how Nintendo is trying to attract newcomers).
Newcomers: Will be attracted by the "TV remote controll" and the simplicity of the motion detector (it goes left, your character goes left. Makes sence)
Fans: May feel a little skeptical, but they will either try it, not like it and buy the shell, or not like it and go to a different company.
Hardcore fans (such as myself): Will buy it no matter what. I would have bought the Virtual Boy when I was younger...but I had no moolah (now that I think of it, I'm glad I didn't).
Collectors: You know these kind of people. They buy all three consoles so they can "be with the times".

That's the "shell" we are also talking about. Read the posts above.
