I'm really not convinced a $250 price tag is much of a barrier for buying a Wii, but then consoles typically do the majority of their sales below $200.
I'm also not convinced that M+ is going to cause a frenzy of sales in the hardware department either. At best, we'll see near 100% sell through at the current max production rate of 2.4m/mo.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Sports Resort bundle eventually saw attach rates similar to Wii Play, but if accessible motion controls didn't sell potential gamers on the Wii in the first place, more accurate motion controls aren't going to change any minds.
As for immediate predictions of a 3.0m/mo; that's a pretty big assumption considering that production has finally met with demand from the standpoint that they are no longer sold out in most markets.
Next big hardware sales hike will almost definitely coincide with the first price drop rather than any other factor.
