Many attempts at similar things have been made in arcades among other things, and never really caught on, I can't see it magically becoming the most popular item in the world. It has potential, but not unlimited potential. |
Except most things don't seel like Wii fit, which is showing stronger legs than even Wii sports in japan, already nintendo has a million plus base, heading for two, that's a great starting point, and by the end of summer they'll probably have almost 10 million if similar strenght occurs in NA and Europe ,the further games will propel Wii fit sales even further, it will be like the Wii a self perpetuating cycle
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
