I always wonder what they mean by "average user" in these Nintendo Channel numbers. Are they defining a user as every Mii that plays the game? Because if they are, the average is going to get dragged down by less enthusiastic members of the household and every guest who tries it out for a single evening.
Hypothetical example:
I pick up Wii Fit at launch and use it regularly, say every other day for four weeks (14 uses).
A couple other people in my household try it out, but they aren't very enthusiastic and only play once a week (4 uses each, 8 total).
One night in this four week period, I have four friends over and they each try the game out once with their own Mii (1 use each, 4 total).
So here we have 7 total users using Wii Fit a total of 26 times in a four week period, averaging 3.7 uses per user. Sounds like a failure, doesn't it? Except for the one user who is using it every other day!
