@Onyxmeth: I thought i looked at it from both directions.
M&S can be the title after Wii Sports and just aswell what you may want to try after Mario Kart. Actually, my original thought was thought only halfway through, since it's quite likely that the new audience jumps to minigame collection before MKWii (and i have sometimes been pointing this out), since the minigames have similar gameplay to Wii Sports.
Nintendos strategy is to get the new audience into gaming with real-life sports games, then introduce them into videogame franchises with low entry point games (Mario Party, Wario Smooth moves etc.). After people get familiar with the franchises, Nintendo wants to get them into games like Mario Kart or Wario Land, which both are easy to pick up, but offer very different gameplay from the minigame collections (hey actually offer very core type of gameplay).
Sega is clearly missing the game that would take the new auudience into core Sonic games, like MKWii does with Mario. But, i believe we will see the type of gamf from Sega.

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.
