It was the combination of wii fit + BB that did it.  Without the balance board, wii fit would not have sold nearly as well, and certainly wouldn't be selling consoles without the hardware anywhere near as much...  Hardware alone will not sell consoles, but hardware + software can, even more than software alone can.  Another example is DDR, which sold a lot of PS2s (although now it's for every console), not to mention guitar hero....

I think Tiger woods with M+ has the potential to, way more than Tiger woods without M+...

No you're putting too much emphasis on the board, if they had been able to implement Wii fit without the board it would have sold just as well and would have been pushing systems, people get Wii fit, for the exercises and for the training help, the balance board is only important as a way to give those experience, but its the gameplay that attracts people, not a flat piece of plastic

No, you greatly are underestimating the importance of the board.  The PS2 had a similar game that did not have a boad.  It's sales were poor...
