Nintendo Land won't be a system seller like Wii Sports was (pretty hard to top that) but hopefully it will help show the average person some interesting and fun gameplay ideas.

Wii Sports was not a system seller. It was just the game that everyone got when they got the system. You are reversing the precedent.

Its like SEGA and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Not even Mario was a system seller like Wii sports was, don't underestimate the casual/simpleton crowd that fueled and bought all the Wii hype.

I think a lot of people saw the commercial, with players motioning at the TV, that made people say "I want to try that!" Nintendo wisely picked Wii Sports b/c it was interesting at the time to think you can hit a baseball, or bowling, golf etc by emulating real movement.  It really was the perfect platform to hook people in.  Look at the sequel - Wii sports resort sold 30 mil
