I see where you are coming from I do, but i dont believe it will help, even if Sony were to make good clones like Sports Champions. They can only move so much, people who dont have PS3 are not going to abandon their Wiis and get PS3/Move for a slighty "better" experience. If they have Wii they most likely wont either. Hell even the clones on Wii dont sell anywhere near the real deals. 

As for your second point, how is it a risk?? They already said it costs them almost nothing to have these games Move compatible. Hell they can be done with a simple patch, so if anything it would be stupid not to do it. Whether people want to use it, it is entirely up to them. But having options is never a bad thing. 

Making spinoffs might actually be a good idea. I wonder how well they will do though. THe fanbase is going to know its a spinoff and are they that in love with an IP that they will buy it no matter the quality? Maybe, maybe not. MS could do this too and they have started. That Fable game is straight spinoff, but how well is that going to do?!

I'm not implying they can hit Wii numbers with their dance and party games nor do they need to. More importantly some strong title could profit and help prevent Move from fading into obscurity.

The context was should Sony make their core games Move only. I was saying would be risky and it would be better to do lower budget spin offs.

How well the spin offs do depend on their appeal and if they're genuinely fun. If they're good that would atleast give people a reason to buy a Move. The Fable spin off is very different from the original games, but it does look interesting. Move spin offs don't necessarily need to be that different. They could be stand a lone expansions that make better use of the Move technology.
