Hey, wow. I knew it was a good idea to load up on this particular stock.
@lstormy10, Why is it inevitable that they'll replace Wii Play with another wiimote pack-in? The purpose of Wii Play is just to collect some old controller tech demos and be a small sample of the wiimote's possibilities for new users tacked on for $10 more than a regular controller. It's not like the wiimote will be gaining new features that require new tech demos, or that Nintendo would gain much by creating a new game specifically to drawn in the crowd not willing to spend the extra $10 on Wii Play over a regular controller.
If they ever do get around to a Wii Sports 2, I doubt it would make a great replacement for Wii Play. Old Wii owners may already have 4 wiimotes, and wouldn't want to be forced to buy a fifth to get Wii Sports 2. On the other hand, new Wii owners will have just gotten the original for free (in most regions), and something other than another Wii Sports would make for a better draw.
