I get the nagging feeling that this "game" won't explode in NA and Europe nearly as much as most other posters here. I think it will do well but not "best selling game of all time" type of sales.

I will predict 7-8m when all is said and done.

 Less than Halo3? Really?

 

Quite possibly. I think Wii Fii has a few things going against it: 

 

- Demographic of the Wii. Some people just won't care about this "game" whatsoever. I'm one of them.

- Price. This, when combined with the console price, is a pretty expensive balance board. It's not exercise, at all, and I think many Westerners will see that.

- The Japanese are hardly an indicator of popularity when it comes to stuff like this. For every Japanese trend you throw at me, I could throw back 10 that just didn't take off in the Western world.

- I don't think middle-aged Westerners are ready to buy into a "game" that needs peripherals (like the console itself) and try to exercise with it. I just don't see it happening in enormous numbers.

 

I could be wrong but that's just my opinion. We'll all know the truth in six months and I know how badly anyone takes flak on this board for questioning one of Nintendo's sacred cows.
