I know a lot of people who bought Wii Fit, myself included. And none of them still use it, that is if they even own it anymore. So why would anyone buy the new one just to not use that? Another example of Nintendo making assumptions based on hope rather than any sort of real speculation.

Nintendo did consumer research, there are still people who use wii fit U  500k in japan to be exact.

I'm sure there are still people that are interested, but they seemed to be counting on this game to be one of their saving graces.  It was pretty obvious that it was never going to even come close to the sales of the original.  I think Nintendo chooses to ignore the tens of millions of people who got Wiis, played them for a bit, and will never pick up a controller ever again.

I would say Nintendo fans were counting on Wiifit to be their saving grace, not Nintendo themselves. If Nintendo wanted this to be a saving grace, they would have rushed it out for the Holiday season.

We don't know the sales target Nintendo set with this title and/or the Wiifit Meter unless they released it in a financial statement somewhere.
