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

@Jereel Hunter: Wii Sports Resort is also bundled with a peripheral, didn't you know?

MK:Wii is still consistently selling 100k a week. It might not sell exactly 30 million, but it will be damn close. It might also greatly surpass that number, depending on the lifetime of the Wii.

A peripheral that most Wii owners don't know is coming(we know about it, but the 'blue ocean' people don't keep up to date on coming video game peripherals), and is released 3 years into the Wii's life.

As for MK:Wii selling 100k a week - that's great. And it's great. But it's selling 100k a week 61 weeks after release - are you expecting it to maintain this sales rate for almost 3 more years? That's unrealistic. It won't hit 30m.

Ummm, there's this thing called marketing and advertisements, I'm sure WSR and WM+ will have plenty.

MK:Wii doesn't need 3 years to get to 30 million. Don't forget sales are much higher during the holiday periods. 2 years is more like it, even if it needs 3 it might well get there (the Wii will continue to appeal to the mass market for many years I think).
