I can see WiiFit being a HUGE success with women and middle-aged men, exactly the non-traditional gamer (or non-gamer) that Nintendo is targeting to expand the audience.
They could easily sale a Wii/WiiFit pack which would still be cheaper than a lot of exercise equipment that people buy, use for week and then leave to collect dust. This could be the next great fitness craze and that alone would make it the best selling peripheral ever. Into the millions easily.
For me, I'd love to see EA use it for sports - running in Madden/NBA, skating in hockey, (just making the running or skating motions, not doing them necessarily) which would really add to the immersion factor. It'd be easy for games like that to have the feature available for those that the board, but for those that don't it's business as usual.
I'm just left wondering one thing. This COULD be a huge seller, but Nintendo can't meet demand now, so unless that changes, how do they capitalize? Lack of availability could totally crush interest in the very markets they're hoping for.
