Why do people think Wii Sports Resort will boost Wii sales?

First off. I am not saying Wii Sports Resort wont sell great.  The people that have bought a Wii for Wii Sports and love Wii Sports will tend to pickup Wii Sports Resort.  Yet they will not pick up a new Wii for Wii Sports Resort.

Why will someone that hasnt purchased a Wii for Wii Sports be driven to pickup a Wii to play Wii Sports Resort?  Is it because of WiiM+.  From my experience most people already believe the Wii does what WiiM+ brings.

New Sports.

New bundles.

Heaps of marketing.

Improved controller, new gameplay experiences.

...

The Wii hasn't stopped selling - WS:R just gives Nintendo to crank up the marketing machine, and get sales back into top gear.

...

Its really all about marketing. Because WS:R will bring in so much revenue, marketing budget will be huge - which means putting the Wii back into the limelight.
