I'm gonna say Skyward Sword>GT5>DKCR.

This is really optimistic for Skyward Sword. At its apex, at the msot optimistic it will match Twilight Princess multiplat, which is about 7 million. Expecting over that is not reasonable, and I expect a fair amount lower (more like Twilight Princess Wii version).

Motion Plus will work against the game, not in favor of it, like the Expansion Pack worked against Majora's Mask.

I didn't even think of that.  Initially I looked at Twilight Princeess' very good multiplatform sales while taking into consideration the Wii's scurrent install base, the likelihood of all GameCube owners having purchased Wiis by this point, and Nintendo's marketing department being at the top of its game, and I came to the conclusion that Skyward Sword has the potential to be the best selling Zelda title since the Ocarina of Time.  The fact that it is reliant on a peripheral certainly puts a damper on that.

Though Nintendo could sell Skyward Sword at $50 with Motion Plus, much like Wii Sports Resort.  Unlikely, but it's possible.

Nintendo has stated that any game that requires an accessory will come with it in at least some form even if its two versions, for Zelda I think they'll just bundle it with the game itself for 50 then it solves the problem.
