Why are people constantly saying that Wii Fit+ is going to make the Wii sales go over the roof? The game is not aimed for a new audience, as it has been on shelves for more than a year and a half. It's barely a repackaging with some new activities and it's more expensive, how is that supposed to bring in new customers?

Besides, it was Nintendo's fault this happened because of the lack of SW throughout the year. They made the same mistake than last year which was relying on a couple of games for 6 months or more. Price cut is an emergency thing they have to cater to to avoid losing more momentum. If SW was the answer, then it's their fault for releasing barely anything in the entire year.

Was it really a mistake last year, though? I mean, two titles basically did carry the whole year last year, it was only this year where that strategy came up rather short, because of the lacklustre nature of Wii Music and Animal Crossing.
