Pachter's quote "We can agree to disagree about the Wii Vitality Sensor.  It looks tremendously stupid to me, but I'm sure I'm not the target market. " from this thread got me thinking.

What would be everyone's expectation of the three addons from the three home console makers? Will any of them become a sensation like Wii Balance Board?

I know we don't know much about NATAL games or how Wii Vitality Sensor would be incoporated and we only saw some brief demos of PS Move. However, it would be interesting to know what everyone's expectation right now based on the current "buzz". I'll probably make another poll after E3 when we have more information on all 3 devices and see if the expectation changes.

As for the poll, my choice would be Wii Balance Board > All 3 Combined. The price of Move and Natal kind of scare me and I think it would limit the market adoption. Wii Vitality Sensor probably won't have a price issue since it can just be bundled with a game designed specifically for it. However, It might turn out to be closer to Wii Music/Animal Crossing: City Folks (<4 mil) than Mario Kart Wii/Wii Fit (20+ mil). Besides, Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board continue selling at a decent rate (there is even a shortage after the holidays). I think it would be hard for Wii Vitality Sensor/PS Move/Ms Natal to catch up.

Thoughts?

I predict Natal with about 10 Million sales.

It obviously depends on software. Nintendo have a good track record in that department of course, but VS has a big question mark over it in my mind.

Since it's Nintendo I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and not automatically assume it will suck, but I really want to see what they do with the Vitality Sensor.

Wii Balance Board > all 3 combined.

Move will not move that much hardware I think. Natal still has to prove me it works, in other words, I think it'll fail. And the vitality sensor... it's a mistery, but not even nintendo can make all those sales miracles forever.

Vitality Sensor easily and by a wide margin.

odd device + Nintendo's creative force= VICTORY!

Nintendo is crazy company, and when all said and done! Wii Fit > All!

If Pachter hates it, it will sell the most. Just the general trend this gen.

Wii fit > All
