I recently bought Wii Play as a standalone game, so I have to disagree with it not deserving its success.
If you find it boring, just try getting above 13 in laser hockey, or getting all the way through tanks without dying, or getting a perfect score in Charge. The only game I don't enjoy in there is the ping pong rallying, and really, I have Wii sports if I want a better version of that, so I'll just play the other 8 games and not worry about it.
The shooting game may not be duckhunt, but it's still fun, and pretty much every game STARTS easy, but gets progressively more challenging as you go along.
Plus, it's fun for multiplayer too. Billiards, airhockey, shooting, and find mii are all fun to compete in, and Tanks offers a semi compete/semi coop mode that is a great deal of fun.
For all those people saying "oh, it's the Wiimote selling, not the game!" Maybe you should consider the fact that there are standalone wiimotes being sold all over the place. If people didn't at least want the game a little, they could just BUY the wiimote by itself. So quit deluding yourselves into thinking the game shouldn't be selling well. When you buy it with the Wiimote, you're essentially getting the game for $10. For $10, Wii Play is an INCREDIBLE game, and sales are merely reflecting that.
Why can't people get that the basic equation for sales is not (How Good game is) = (how good sales are) but (but good game is)/(price) = (how good sales are) Wii Play just happens to be at a pricepoint well below what its quality and fun factor warrant, thus sales are proportionately higher.
