Sales Discussion - WiiFitU - View Post

Very hard to predict - Wii Fit released to an already significant userbase and probably helped sustain sales of the Wii for quite a while. The new one will release to a much smaller userbase and is unlikely to tempt many to lay out £300 for the privilege of using it. So in the first year at least, I would expect sales of FitU to be relatively modest - perhaps 'only' a couple of million. But as the price of the Wii U comes down and more system-selling titles release for it, so the pace of userbase growth should increase and sales of FitU keep ticking along. It also depends whether Nintendo release FitU Plus (Wii Fit Plus saw the original Wii Fit being discontinued). But this is very speculative. Much depends on the success of the WiiU. If it is a big success, I think FitU will be too. But I wouldn't expect FitU to make the WiiU a success - at least not at the WiiU's current price, and not to the extent that I think Wii Fit contributed to the Wii's success.
