I seriously doubt it.. None of the Nintendogs knock offs have been anywhere near successful..

 

I would have to disagree the Petz titles last I heard sold about 200K each during their life spans. Now sure the 200k is nothing to get exited over it is still very profitable. Considering the amount of Petz titles released, then you have PuppyLuv and all the other knock-offs from UbiSoft, Majesco and EAGames. Remember considering the cheap budgets these games recieve that 200,000 sales mark is fairly good. I'd expect WiiFit knock offs , rip offs and similiar titles to begin flowing in at a steady rate.

 

Infact, Fitness Ultimatum 2009 was announced by Majesco today (More info below)

 

Today Majesco announced Fitness Ultimatum 2009 the new IP is being headed by "The Biggest loser Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels". The name alone tells you that this won't be a single game the 2009 ending sounds like this title will become an annual release getting obese american's into shape every year.

The first new fitness game to be announced coming from Majesco. Majesco with the Cooking Mama series has been credited as one of the leading casual and Touch Generation game developers. The team that assisted Harmonix bringing us RockBand is the developer making this series for Majesco.

 

" Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 players become new recruits in Jillian's boot camp where they enroll in a unique training program composed of challenging fitness tests and an ever-changing series of workouts.
