Because the Wii U doesn't work with wiimotes.

Huh? It does?

Then... I don't... know.

Always thought it was a big mistake to drop their biggest Wii hit for Nintendo Land. A Wii Sports game which combined use of the tablet and Wii remote, online play and to a lesser extent HD Graphics would be big draw to the system. They certainty are at least toying with the idea with a new sports game, as you can see with the prototype golf game they showed before:

I guess the potential threat of the possibility of a Kinect 2 sports game might have put them off. But with a $500 dollars price tag on the New Xbox, I can't see much demand from the casual auidence until major price cuts.
