That's a seller if I ever saw one.

Get ready, folks. Wii Fit is gonna shock the world in a few more weeks.

So John, still up for this one? Hate to see you eat crow mate - still time to "amend" your prediction (not that I expect you too ;):

...

"Wii Fit will trump the opening week sales of Halo 3 in Japan alone much less counting all territories combined. See following thread for details: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=7961"

 

 

I don't amend....JACK.

Ain't the first time I ate crow on this site. It's in my signature right now. John Lucas was WRONG.

I am unafraid as always. Willing to boldly go where no predicter has gone before. Willing to take my lumps as they come and willing to revel in my rewards as they come.

This game is going to be simply HUGE. And I think everybody is underestimating the new audience particularly in regards to females which this speaks to strongly. It speaks to everyone but it is VERY female friendly.

See it's the fact that it's a part of Nintendo's strategy to shape the industry in their favor which makes me so adamant about my prediction. Brawl, Galaxy, Kart, Olympics, Monster Hunter 3, and all that are top notch games but Nintendo is REALLY pinning their hopes on Wii Fit moving them to the 2nd phase of the master plan. They are going to push this strongly.

Will exercise and gaming FINALLY become merged for good? This is what Nintendo is banking on. They want this game to be a part of everyone's morning routine. Before you go to work and perhaps before you go to bed. Incorporating it into a person's daily routine. Making a chore FUN which lowers the bar to the acceptance of the activities. And boy watch out if this thing actually benefits health.

Look at that box art and tell me that won't walk out of the stores. I love Nintendo's new 'white' direction. Looks like detergent boxes and cleaning aids. Fresh. Breath of fresh air. Not too cluttery. Not too crowded. Subtle soft and simple.

Think market expansion to understand the impact of Wii Fit. They're gonna be ready at launch I guarantee you. The headlines are part of the plan. When the headlines vouch for the power of Wii Fit that will demoralize the competition. And Japan is first since this is where the domino effect can properly begin. Next is us and the world. And boy things will NOT look the same after Wii Fit. 2007 is the last year of the old ways.
