That offer to buy just a pedometer and get Wii Fit U for free was a steal.
Wii Sports Club and Wii Fit U both try out new methods of payment for games. This trend is further followed with this Rusty's Baseball (I think that's the name) on 3ds. I dont think the number of traditional copies should be worrying.
Now, how many pedometers were/will be bought is a different question. I doubt Nintendo will ever show the numbers.

In typical Nintendo fashion, they are more interested in being different and trying new ideas than being successful or giving either the investor/analyst crowd or the gamers what they want.

I am fine with them ignoring the investor/analyst types except proving themselves right in their choices by being profitable or at least increasing market share of being a relevant gaming platform.

I don't get why Nintendo is so arrogant about not giving gamers what they want.... and gamers want game platforms that can play all the 3rd party games, have the full standard of System and Online features (when compared to any competing system), and is differentiated by the quality and variety of 1st party exclusives (not some gimmick hardware differentiators).

they are not about that life and honestly even if they did, it would help but not that much. Damage is done.
