As we pull up to the delayed release of Wiifit, anyone want to update their guess as to how effectively Wiifit will drive sales, in particular in the (normally slow) first part of the year?
To keep trending up at the same rate as 2007 did, June 2008 would have to have revenue of $5B USD (or more), which seems out of the question to me even with an apparent smash hit fitness product kids geting games for summer. Probably June 2008 will bring in around $4.2B USD.
On the other hand, Nintendo 4Q sales seem to have been very strong, maybe even hitting $4B USD.
It will be interesting to see what Nintendo's earnings projections are.
The urge to play is a terrible thing to waste.
