Had they released Wii Fit along a balance board core supported game and sales would have been even higher. I mean, they are just releasing Punch-Out! 1 and a half years after the balance board was launched. And same can be said about Wii Speak, the only game that supports it is a casual game, and no other game does. Will be 2010 before they do something about it. People lose interest in peripherals if there's nothing else to use them on. Core gamers more than anyone. But Nintendo never supported their peripherals and I don't think they ever will. |
Your point was that you couldn't see WSR with M+ having a long term boost on sales. Wii Fit has done that for a long time, and WSR caters to the casual audience that went wild for Wii Sports. M+ and WSR could easily carry Nintendo through the rest of the year. Take that into consideration along with at least 2 games in the works for release this year that have stated they will use M+ in their games. Thus, already more planned use than the balance board.
