It will harm sales a little bit, but WM+ already has a very good attach rate, thanks for WS:R

Opposite effect, I reckon. I'm sure that there are many people that wouldn't buy the game if it didn't use Motion Plus. Besides, everyone already has one anyway

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~
Yes
It happened before...
Majora's Mask + RAM expansion for N64
It might put off a few. I suspect the notion have being forced to play with 'waggle' will hurt sales more than the cost of getting a WM+ for those that don't own one.
Personally the only reason I am getting Zelda:SS is because it's using WM+.
| Mr Khan said: I would say no. Given Sports Resort's attach rate, i would doubt that there are casual consumers that have enough interest in Zelda but not enough interest in Sports Resort to not have a motion plus by now, or at least a statistically insignificant number Core gamers will know to buy it separately, and its a non-obtrusive investment |
not to mention that they have been adding motion+ controls and addons

this. oh god, this
| RolStoppable said: Nope. If Zelda can't sell for $/€60 these days (that's the cost of the Wii Remote Plus Zelda bundle or buying the game alone plus a Wii Motion Plus add-on), then there's something seriously wrong with the appeal of the game. |
Just plain this. Spirit Tracks didn't need anything special, but it sold very low for a Zelda game, and ended up in bargain bins in Japan (Nintendo stupidly assmed that was due to too much supply, as though no one has ever sold a rare game before).
And Majora's Mask did NOT sell low due to the RAM expansion. First of all, it still sold well, and second of all, its structure was too irregular for a lot of players. You can't even get into combat until you go through at least one cycle, and that still requires knowing who to talk to in what order.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

27.93 / 87.8 = 31.8% doesn't really seem that high to me, or i guess not an insignificant amount of non-motion-plusers. not that you can't get motion plus without WSR but with so few softwares utilizing it this has got to be close to the real stat.
anyways, i think it will hurt it some. manditory peripherials always seem to. i'd guess it falls in the 4-5 M range down from 6 M (+1.5 M GC) for TP. and actually, i imagine there will be quite a few people that buy the game not realizing that they can't play it without the motion plus. never underestimate the stupidity of others..

It's a significant amount certainly, but i'm saying how many of that other 68.1 could be persuaded to buy a motion plus game different from WSR, but are not consumers informed enough to know that it requires an extra peripheral?
