So how is encouraging people to sell their Wii a good strategy for Nintendo? They want to make money; they know there's an audience that would rather use buttons instead of gestures...

It's like that story a while back where Nintendo encouraged Eurocom to 'innovate the controls' in the Golden Eye remake. They ended up with some tacked on, crappy option to strafe by holding the A-button. Something similar worked for Metroid 1 & 2, but guess why it wasn't in MP3. It's a stupid option that nobody will use.
But hey, at least they're letting you choose.

Now with DKCR, Nintendo probably told Retro "add motion controls." Although they prefered rolling/pounding/blowing with a button, they had to map that to a gesture. And because of that, they had to disable GC/CC support. Yay, Wii is a motion console, whether it works or not!!
