You are very wrong here
The average amount ot time spent on Wii sports per user is very high... about 33-35 hours, this may not seem much to people like us (I have clocked over 110 hours on it) but you have to remember most of the owners of Halo 3 are also casual (in terms of time spent)
Halo 3 likely has a much much higher amount of time per user than Wii sports, probably one of the highest of this generation console games, but at best it will still be well under 100 hours per person.... probably around 70-80 hours.
Thus the sheer number of Wii Sports owners means it will get played a lot more, the hours are probably more spread out too, Halo 3 will have had staggering amounts of time spent on it in the weeks (and months) after launch, but it's low weekly sales now limit the possible hours compared to all the new Wii Sports owners.
A number of owners getting tired of the game doesn't stop the huge numbers of new owners playing it, in addition to those who bring it out once in a while. (Even if they are a small percentage)
Oddly enough I played Wii Sports for the first time in 11 months just 2 days ago.

The Nintendo Channel.
The bit of info redspear posted above me is for the US channel as of last July, but there has been a more recent one for the US, and I collect data for 8 of the PAL regions channels regularly... but generally the average hours per user remains similar.... and depending on which region you look at is between 29 and 37 hours (though I can't speak for Japan)
I actually extrapolated this to try include all Wii owners, Wii Sports has been played easily in excess of 1 billion hours worldwide. (the average time on the Nintendo channel multiplied by the number of Wii Sports copies is around 1.5 billion, but the Nintendo channel may not be accurately representative of non-channel users, but we can be pretty sure the average isn't halved)
