Who is buying all the Wii MotionPlus devices?

This might be reinforced by the devices description on Nintendo accessories web pages :
Nintendo’s Wii MotionPlus accessory redefines game control by more quickly and accurately reflecting motions in a 3-D space.
The Wii MotionPlus accessory attaches to the end of the Wii Remote and, combined with the accelerometer and the sensor bar, allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion.
Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play.
The Wii MotionPlus accessory will be bundled with Wii Sports Resort, which is slated for release in 2009.
Even the classic controller has the final sentence “Look on the back of Wii game packaging to see which games are compatible.” In its description.
The Nintendo support page , to its credit does include a helpful hint for those that may have made a bad purchase decision.
Important note: Only games that feature this icon on their packaging will take advantage of Wii MotionPlus. After you've attached Wii MotionPlus to your Wii Remote, you will not need to remove it if a game does not use it.
With the icon being little more than a slightly extended version of the wii-mote icon on every Wii release.
I could be completely wrong, I hope so, I notice that Virtua Tennis 2009 for the Wii is indeed selling strongly in this country.
And perhaps I am just going to the wrong retail outlets, the ones frequented by virtual tennis fans perhaps.
Because I haven’t had a chance to get my mitts on one, I don’t know if Nintendo have made the devices compatibility clear on the packaging, they have not done so, for the front of the box.
If people are happy, that is the main thing, for the time being, until Red Steel 2 and other compatible games are released, Wii owners could be blissfully unaware they had bought the tech equivalent of the emperor’s new clothes.
