Could Nintendo be expecting just medium sales (at first) in Japan, and starting there until they get the supply up for the other regions?

PS3 version sold almost as much as SMG... 107k. PS2 - 155k...

and the best PES version available... X360 - 7k.

Nobody believes.

 

But they will...

...in due time.

The force is strong with you, Lucas.

 Jaylu (the seer formerly known as John Lucas) - We all know the emperor has no clothes... some people just refuse to acknowledge that he is also wearing a toupé. They will... in due time.

Actually Wii Fit seems promising and the big thing, as i see it, is the balance board. Let's assume, that Wii Fit will sell 5M WW (i pulled that number out of my ass) by the end of June 2008, which would be around 1/7 Wii owners would have one. That would mean, that there's a lot of publishers, that have interest to support the balance board with their games. I think one of the biggest potential in current games would be in racing games, where you could use it as pedals. And think of the other possibilities where you could use the balance board.

I'm one of the few that believe you on this one, John. WiiFit will have forever legs and revive the Japanese Wii interest. My guess until end of 2007 (Japan only of course): 1.0m+

More garbage like that is the last thing I want to see from Nintendo. I'd rather see them focus on some kickass games, not over hyped bullshit. Some killer new IP's would be great!

 Do you? He claims Wii-Fit will trample Halo's worldwide opening week.

I said this earlier in another topic, that considering what games have just been released and what games are coming in early 2008, i would say, that they do focus on some "kickass" games. Besides, aren't they currently working on couple of new IP:s. First, this has potential, other than just for workout, just like i said. And secondly, this brings variety to Wiis games library. It's not supposed to please everybody, it's supposed to please a certain group of people just like every other game. In one way i understand you, i'm annoyed from every "13 in a dozen" generic shooter, which brings you nothing new. Not to mention all the stupid people, who buy them. Now, it's much more fun for all of us, if you don't post "it's shit, i don't like it" crap without giving us any basis why do you think that way, when others are speculating it's sales. Well, i should have ignored you in the first place. Stupid me.
