The Rinnegan was passed down to the Elder son. While the younger son inherited the sages body. That was specifically said in the manga. Elder son = Sages eyes and Younger son = Sages body. The Rinnegan is the sages eyes, so it only makes sense that a Uchiha would unlock them. But there is obviously a catch. There must be some reason why Susanoo is said to be extremely rare even if gaining the MS. I think that is because Amateratsu(Sun),Tsukuyomi(Moon) and Susanoo(God) has something with gaining the Rinnegan. That and also the fact that the EMS is required according to the Stone Tablet. This would explain why Tobi was so interested in Sasuke. It would also explain Tobi's remarks about Sasuke becoming stronger then Nagato and Tobi's plan to sync Sasuke to the Gedo Mazo(which Sasuke will HAVE to have the Rinnegan to do this). It would also explain why Tobi wanted Sasuke to gain Itachi's eyes so bad. Last but not least, it would explain why Tobi stated to Zetsu that the most important thing was to get hold of Sasuke. Tobi said that Sasuke was the most important objective even more important then gaining the tailed beast.
This means that like Madara, Sasuke too has inherited the sages power. It probably means the ability to go beyond the sharigan according to what the stone tablet says about the EMS. It claims that through the EMS a new Dojutsu is awakened, I recall Itachi stating this.
