Has Nintendo even released figures for the Balance Board, why are people adding up Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus numbers and coming out with the totl amount of balance boards lol.

Regardless, we'll see how Kinect sells this year, it'll have another xmas on par with last year though, so it'll easily surpass 20 million by the end of the year.

And the sales won't die then either ...


Wii Fit Plus keeps on selling. So no chance.

If you're gonna reply actually come up with something that refutes my post. Wii Fit Plus is selling, but you have no idea what the userbase is. It could be anywhere from 25 to 40 million. Kinect will surpass 20 million this year with ease (really if you don't think it will do the figures without bias interfering) after that, it's not going to flop like people expect it too. Until Nintendo give figures on the Balance board you're only saying it won't because, well obvious reasons

There is no way to tell right now, if Balance board is at 30 million sales, and they don't do a sequel for whatever reason, Wii fit sales will slowly simmer down. Kinect is a very different peice of HW. It's going to have meaningful price cuts, SW pushes the Wii fit never saw, and most of all massive support from Microsoft, they want this to be big everywhere. All those factors can't be ignored.

very heated eh. but i dont think kinect has a chance to outsell wiifit.

Wii fit, Wii Fit franchise or Balance board sales?

Well kinect had Xbox 360 bundles compared to Wii Fit, it has a 'chance' to surpase the original Wii Fit. It won't however surpase Wii Fit franchise or the balance board. I highly doubt original users of Wii Fit bought Wii Fit Plus disc exceeding 5 million.

You're also forgetting that Wii Fit Plus is selling very close to kinect in EMEAA and it's older. Wii Fit Plus has yet to be bundled outside of EMEAA and if it were to be bundled in Japan and America, sales would explode which would rival Kinects' numbers.  Wii Fit Plus has also yet to have a price cut. These are factors that can't be ignored. You didn't include them for obvious reasons

I didn't include them cos they're crappy points, you say Wii Fit is selling close to Kinect in EMEAA then say it's bundled LOL, how many sales would it be getting if it wasn't Kinect bundles arnt the same, you have to want Kinect to chose a kinect bundle over a normal 360, that and given it's more expensive .... Wii Fit will slow down long before Kinect. It's 1 peice of SW vs many. Not to mention Wii sales are slowing down significantly too.

It doesn't have just a "chance" to surpass Wii Fit original, it will. If you're one of these people that thinks it's going to ship only about 10 mill this year then you're gonna look foolish come the end of the year.

Q4 - 8 mill
Q1 - 2 - 3 mill
Q2 - 1.5 - 2.5 mill
Q3 - 2 - 3 mill
Q4 - 6

Is basically worst case scenario. and that tallys up at 19.5 by the end of the year. It's not going to drop to 1 mill shipped per Q, that's just wishful thinking on your part.
