Throw in that it's limited to the WM+ owners

This is a selling point imo.  There's a huge M+ audience out there with a dearth of game options for it... I think it'll help push the game higher than it would've sold without support, similar to early Balance Board games like We Ski and Shaun White.

Plus RS2 will have an optional M+ bundle for those without it.

Nintendo was depending upon Red Steel 2 to push WM+ peripherals during the holidays, but Ubisoft delayed it. Even if it integrates WM+ only about 25% of the time, the game will do much better. Motion control integration is a solid reason for why some games sell and others don't/ Well-integrated motion enhances the title's appeal because that is what the Wii is all about.

 

As long as Ubisoft releases that trailer they had before, with that man displaying the sword/gun motion reflected on-screen, they will do fine. they could make it better by having more involved in the experience (teenagers watching the father play or vice versa, cops and robbers/cowboys and criminals scenario, girlfriends sneaking in a RS2 play).
