Wii Fit and GTA both have one thing in common which will (certainly) help Wii Fit sell; and that is free press. For Wii fit this is the progression of press that I see happening:
- Wii Fit is released and most local and national news broadcasts have a blurb about Nintendo's unusual weightloss videogame.
- Weeks later Wii Fit is covered on shows like 20/20 and 60 Minutes and actually gets a (generally) positive response from people in the fitness industry, and it is demonstrated that you can lose some weight with Wii Fit.
- Weeks later Wii Fit returns to local and national news broadcasts as it is being used in physio therapy and in retirement homes as a way to provide excercise for people with limited capabilities.
- Weeks later Wii Fit hits Oprah and she gives away a Wii (with Wii Fit) to every member of her audience
- The next day local and National news brodcasts announce that Wii Fit was on Oprah and was given away to every member of her audience
