Nice read Lyngyis.

I see the anti wiifit uproar to be a telling sign of some people's immaturity and elitism (and videogame elitism is the ultimate sign of immaturity)

I see something that's fun, can be enjoyed by everyone and gives you exercise. How could that possibly be something to get angry over?

Not everyone, just like Eyetoy was not fun for everyone. Personally, I don't mind the idea, in fact; I'm all for it, but I do think that WiiFit's appeal is vastly overrated. Its doing well in Japan, and I think it'll do perhaps even better in NA, but Eu/Others will be its weakest territory and really drag down ww sales potential in the long run. I think the key to WiiFit success lies in broad software support, it won't do having just Nintendo develop for it if this thing is gonna skyrocket for real.

Any idea why the low Europe sales? Looking here http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6251 , Europe was by far the eye toy's greatest region.

Because he's from europe and doesn't like it. Duh.

Eh, or he's stereotyping and assuming the japanese are getting it because they love anything gimmicy and Americans are a bunch fattys that will buy anything that promises the slightest loss of weight?

I wouldn't count the euro sales out.
