How did you come to the idea that niche games are the ones selling Wii's there? Have you got proof? Well, those "niche" games you talk about, they go on selling for 5 - 6 weeks then die, while Wii Fit has been consistently selling for more than 18 months and then sales have gone up or down with the consoles sales. The Wii Fit sales are on par or really close to Wii HW sales. There's no proof needed for my statement, since it's obvious.
You believe that people are buying Wii's for games like ARF, Kizuna, Takt of Magic, Deca Sports 2?
Wii Fit is the only available HW mover, along with MKWii. The rest of the sales come probably from existing users. I dont think that 3500 people bought a Wii for Takt of Magic for instance.
