I don't necessarily think they have to, but I reallybelieve Nintendo sometime down the road will start to bundle WM+ with the system. And if they replace the original Wii Sports with Resort, it would provide an established piece of software that really displays what the new tech can do. Furthermore, if they wanted to do it for this holiday season or later, it would really help to push sales of games that use or require +, since by next year I assume many more games will make use of it, and I doubt every game will have an optional bundle for the device as time goes on.
I also think it would be wise to provide plus late in the life of the Wii, since I don't think Nintendo will want to gimp new owners in terms of what their hardware can do. Inaddition, it could almost serve at Ninty's Wii price cut, since Resort and Wii Motion Plus are markedly more expensive than just Wii Sports.
Maybe this all just depends on how many games actually use + in the future.
