I think its still going to be meh. However, E3 will be big. Zelda. That is all.

@SmoothCriminal: best response this week lol, you're awsome :D

@dnnc: lol, definition 2 - line 4

Maybe, but I'm talking peripherals in general.  I knew WiiFit would sell like hot cakes.

This thing has me stumped.  

Ergonomically, I don't understand it at all...

Functionally, I can think of things that could be applied to traditional games but none of them seem good enough to motivate Nintendo to actually develop a piece of hardware.

I get the feeling this is going to be the actualization of ideas that were being discussed pre Wii Launch about having a piece of software collect biometric data from the user and then send that data to hospitals and doctors.  Wii Health or what have you.  If Nintendo didn't do anything traditional with M+ (yet), I doubt they will be pushing those boundaries with this peripheral.

It should fit most everyone, when not erect.

Or you can make a mod to fit a larger size.

Or wait 'till Nintendo release an XL version.

It's a Blue Ocean product, therefore you shouldn't try to shoehorn it on to horror games or whatever, it's going to come with software that was previously possible, just like Wii Fit. It'll be built around the device as much as the device will be built around the software. It'll be a system seller with more potential than both Natal and the PS Move.

Whether I like the software or not (I have trouble getting to sleep, and if the software is what I think it is then I'll get a lot of use out of it) it doesn't matter because it's hitting another BIG part of our lives..

Think about it, the Wii will cover all three of these next Holidays:

- Entertainment
- Fitness
- Stress

I think Nintendo will be hard pressed to find bigger marketable experiences. Software focusing on things like finance and relationships (other big areas of our lives) would be more difficult to work into an experience that could sell Wii consoles.

Wii Vitality (or whatever it ends up being called) is the next progression point of the line below:

Wii Sports -> Wii Fit -> Wii Vitality

For that reason alone, video gaming fans interested in the progression of the industry as a whole should be very interested in the Wii Vitality Sensor.

Cant wait till they come out with the Wii Diabetes Tracker. Sure it stings when you first put it on but hey now you can have fun and watch your blood sugar levels.

OT didnt Reggie say that Ninty's philosophy is first comes cool idea, Miyamoto cant do it on existing hardware, Ninty makes new hardware?

Prety much sums it up I'de say, learnign how to use the Wiiremote and to keep fit. Now we are going to learn how to take it easy with the vitality sensor.  I think Vitality sensor is like the next wii fit but maybe a bit less sales, but a system seller is likely. A lie detector game wll go down well.

So many awesome possibilities for this product. I would love to see it used in story driven games for example. Measure what characters the players connects with the most then adapt the story from that input. ie. kill off all their favorite characters to induce rage.

I wonder if this will become a standart in the industry like the Wiimote and nunchuk
