No proof, it's never been done before (except incidentally by DDR/Wii Sports), but 51% of Wii owners are women, a lot of them are mature gamers, and than % is sure to grow with Wii Fit. It will not appeal to core gamers, but it will appeal to women/mature people, and anyone else wanting to lose weight without bothering to exercise.
In Japanese the population is aging, and this will be very popular. In NA the population is overweight (in general) and this will be very popular. Europeans are more casual gamers anyways so this will also appeal to them.
It's experimental, so like the Wii was originally perdicted, it could be a flop, or like the Wii has turned out, it could be a huge success. I choose the latter.
