I don't think Nintendo think that the WM+ is what is goig to turn things around in Japan. Nintendo have ALWAYS said: 'games sell hardware' I mean it's true with every piece of hardware that sells, DS started out relatively slowly and then BANG out came Nintendogs, Brain Training, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS
With Wii they look at Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii, all being played vastly differently with the Wii Remote, Nunchuk, Wii Wheel and even a board and they don't think 'oh wow the Wii is really gimmicky' they think 'oh wow Wii is so versatile! It's so fun and different!'
However to go with Reggie.. 'It's not about the look, it's about the feel' People will pick up the Wii Remote w/WM+ and play titles such as WSR, GST, TW10, VT09, Red Steel 2 and the mant other WM+ titles on the way and they will feel the difference, it'll be just like picking up the Wii Remote for the first time once again for many people.
Lets save these type of arguments for 6 weeks time ok? Also I'm pretty sure that WM+ was more about stopping Microsoft rob Nintendo's momentum in the west due to that rumoured 360-mote.
