Wii Sports Resort (Wii Sports 2) Will it sell???

[shams]

Resort will be similar to WiiFit - just cheaper, and should sell even better:
- hardcores will buy it immediately for M+
- casuals will buy it, as a sequel for Wii Sports
- newbies will buy it, for the "new" games (sword fighting, etc) and based on the massive advertising campaign it launches with.

I see no reason for Ninty to bundle, OR build M+ into Wiimotes. Firstly, with 50m Wiis out there - there would be at LEAST 100m Wiimotes - without M+. So they have to cater to these units first.

Secondly - when Resort launches, 99.9% of Wii games will ONLY require the Wiimote. Very, very few will *ever* require M+ - probably 1-2% of games.

Thirdly - its easy money for Ninty, and a nice upgrade path for consumers.

Fourthly - it gives them an easy route for the "Wii II" controller (all these bits integrated) - or even a new Wiimote if they like.

...

I'm sure I have now spent an UNGODLY amount of money on my "Wii collection" - BUT I didn't have to spend it all at once. Gradual upgrading makes consumers happy.

Again - my only question is the price points - and if I was Ninty, I would price it similar to WiiPlay/Wiimote (except cheaper). Force people to buy multiple copies of Resort, if they want multiple M+'s (for a while at least).

(its almost like Animal Crossing + WiiSpeak - except the WiiSpeak is not *required* to play Animal Crossing - M+ will be required).
