I'm sure the game is going to sell great and the Wii Remote will definitely help with that. I'm not sure where the 125,000 number in Japan is coming from. It has already sold over 800,000 since release and more than 200,000 in its first week, so it didn't have a slow start at all. Here is a link with the most recent Media Create sales http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=405211
