Regarding the first half, Nintendo has had quite a few failed peripherals. ROB and the Zapper, Super Scope 6 and the Mouse, the N64 memory card was used by few games (opting to the old battery on cartridge method), likewise, the expansion pack was only needed by a few games. Even things like the Game Boy camera and the DS rumble pack didn't do much. (The latter so poorly that the port was removed entirely, also axing GBA support.) I'd like to see more peripherals do well like the Balance Board, but as of now, that's more the exception than the rule.
As for the second half, I'm not too sure how they'll do. The big one coming soon is Red Steel 2, and given the reception the first one has, I think that's going to hurt its sales to begin with; the needing of an extra accessory may kill it. Other than Zelda, I don't really see anything else that screams "must have" to require the WM+. Again, I'd like to be proven wrong, but I do think that Zelda will be too little too late for the WM+. In fact, I'd not be surprised if Nintendo has to bundle WM+ with it due to some stores discontinuing the accessory.
