The month-and-a-half between New Super Mario Bros. Wii's mid-November debut and December 31, 2009 saw the side-scrolling platform sell an astonishing 10.55 million copies globally, with Wii Fit Plus doing 13.58 million since its October release.
As for hardware, the Wii has now sold 67.45 million units worldwide, with the various iterations of the Nintendo DS adding up to lifetime sales of 125.13 million units.

The only thing I can immediately think of that I would even want from motion control is maybe a light Golf game, or bowling or boxing. And Wii has definitely already done that. This stupid house has a Wii, so when I really get the hankering to fake-bowl with friends, there it is.
What I am interested in seeing is what comes out for Natal that I haven't thought of, something really interesting. So far, nothing looks like that. But all we have is that early cheater video, a hacked version of Burnout, and that weird Milo software.
Personally, I would love it if the Xbox got light gun games, Natal or not. I'd even accept measly ports of the stuff Wii has had for a long time now--House of the Dead Overkill, Dead Space Extraction, Ghost Squad--these are seriously fun games. Plus the 360 could do a killer job of House of the Dead 4 and that one AvP arcade game.
The only thing I can really imagine Natal doing well that they haven't already hinted at is FPS-type gaming but with some minor changes. Has anyone here played Metroid Prime 3? It had a neat control scheme where you used the analog stick on the nunchuck for movement but aimed the reticule with the pointer end of the wiimote.
What I could maybe see them doing with Natal, if it's as precise as they say, is making it so that you move with a controller (or on rails for some games) but small head movements from you would translate to moving a reticule or something on screen. Maybe something like this - scroll down to where it says Head Tracking.
