As far as why it keeps being so popular, it's simple - even though the Wii is lite on new releases this holiday season there are more than enough great games to attract new owners.
Wii Sports
Wii Fit
Mario Galaxy
Zelda
Smash Bros
Mario Kart
And one thing that Nintendo does right is that their games have lasting appeal. New owners keep buying games that came out years ago for a chance to play them. How many seek out games that came out 2-3 years ago on any other console? In comparison, Nintendogs STILL sells like mad to new DS owners and it was basically a launch title.
