And if you think that Westerners will buy this game by the millions when the Wii itself is massively shortaged, you're sadly mistaken.

 Why do you think it appeals to the Japanese market but won't to the Western market?


Because the kind of Westerners that Wii Fit appeals to do not stand in line for for a $250 console and a $100 game every third Sunday when they are available.

The Japanese do. 


the problem with that logic is that eventually supply must meet demand, and then they won't have to stand in line

 and if supply doesn't meet demand, then there are well over 100 million wiis out there, so plenty of households that have a mom/dad that fit the wii fit demographic will buy the wii fit

 either supply reaches demand and then they can walk into a store and buy one with wii fit or supply doesn't meet demand and a huge % of households in the US end up with a Wii...u can't have it both ways

 Wii Fit will have long, long legs
