| obieslut said: OK Wii Fit was launched in NA this week, and many people thought the game was going to sell like 10 trillion or something.
The game has failed to reach 1 Million in NA in its first week dispite lots of marketing. I do think this game has sold well but has sold under expectations. Looks at Ninty fanz.
And some people predicted that this game would sell over 1mil in NA first week with ease. Not going to name you but youno who you are. Now that the results are in is anybody going to admit to being wrong and lower there predictions. I'm going as far to say that this game will not pass ps3 or x360 ltd sales. ^Discuss people

I hate to be the one to pop your little bubble but believe it or not most people don't camp out in parking lots because frankly they don't particularly care if they have it on day one. So Wii Fit was never going to do 99% of its sales in the first 15 minutes like Halo. Despite that, if there are any left it's a well kept secret. Whatever Nintendo shipped, sold.
Now the legs thing happens. GTA IV and Halo have very short legs BECAUSE everyone that wants them, wants them on day one. It's called instant gratification and the demographic group that buy games like GTA IV is known for it.
You have to understand that not only does the customer base for Wii Fit have very different buying patterns, there is a very fundamental difference in Wii Fit. Halo 3 and GTA IV are great games and all but the number in the name by definition means they are well known old friends, not something truly original and unique. People will likely be still buying Wii Fit when GTA XVII comes out.
