Wii Sports Resort could learn a thing or two from Wii Fit plus.

I think it would only have worked if they intended WSR to be a full replacement for Wii Sports which is not something I think they were willing to do. Wii Sports has the name and the recognition and perhaps they were unsure how the public would embrace the kind of motion controls that are in WSR. Also it would also have meant packaging WM+ with the standard system.

I think the difference is that Wii Fit Plus is meant to be a complete replacement of Wii Fit, while Wii Sports Resort is not meant to be a replacement of Wii Sports.

WSR is a full price product, Wii Fit Plus isn't

WSR costs $50 for a game and Wii Motion Plus. So it is a $30-$40 product, not full priced. Actually, it is under $40 now on Amazon.com including shipping and taxes (well, if you are in a state like New Hampshire where videogames aren't taxed).

I think most people have been saying that as a joke ever since that IGN article was posted.

Literally every Wii owner has Wii Sports. If WSR included everything tha WS had, then WS would be obsolete. It's in Nintendo's best interest to make the two games appear as separate entities.
