Those percentages are the most useless stat ever. Wii Fit will sell great, but please don't use those stupid percentages from Amazon. All it means is that Wii Fit went from 0 orders to whatever orders they got. Might as well be infinity percent.

Very true, however, the higher the %, the higher the first day of pre-orders were. @781000%, a high number were sold when that image was taken.

It will be pretty exciting to see its launch numbers.

I don't think it works that way. There may have been a reset when the unit was officially priced. These percentages are mostly gibberish. I trust them about as much as the groundhog for predicting weather. All you can really say is there was an increase orders, nothing more.

Fishy, your absolutely correct. The Amazon numbers mean nothing.

 

However, it certainly doesn't disprove that WiiFit will sell like hotcakes.

 

I think the most interesting thing about this, is it seems to be a response from the segment on the hugely popular Good Morning America(which is nationally syndicated on television and radio), who raved over the product.

 

I wish the price hadn't been recently announced so we could see the actual effect of free mainstream press on an upcoming game release.

 

Either way, I feel fairly comfortably talking crap about Wii Fit sales, because I'd say its time to bet the farm that the game is gonna blow up.
