Nintendo of America's Senior VP of Marketing and Corporate Communications George Harrison is quite hopeful:

Wii Play builds on the types of games and experiences people have come to love in Wii Sports. Millions of people around the world are recognizing Wii as the future of gaming. We are changing how people play games, who plays and how many play.

And with its pricing, it seems that Wii Play is really being pushed by Nintendo. The game comes packaged with a Wiimote for a suggested retail price of US 49.99. A typical Wii title retails around US 50 and the controller is priced at US 39.99.

Lastly, in case you've been living in a windowless room with a smelly, oily creature for the past months, here are the different mini games included in Wii Play:
I have got this game, and it was pretty much sold out everywhere in the UK - although, i think its more to do with, because it comes bundled with an extra wiimote.
I played this the day I got it, maybe the day after, and, havent played it since.
Tis fun, but, not really that great imo.
