There have been some concerns raised against the functionality and life of the wrist band attached to the Wiimote. The controller comes with a small band, which keeps the controller from being flung form the hand, but to many this just isn’t enough.

We are investigating [the Wii Remote strap issue]. Some people are getting a lot more excited than we’d expected. We need to better communicate to people how to deal with Wii as a new form of entertainment.

I suspect that most users will simply laugh it off form getting too excited. The worst that can happen is a broken controller and embrassment, get over it guys and calm down.
