Conversation with my mother back in Montana:

"Hey mom, look at this game WiiFit!" "You love fitness, right?" "You should buy a Wii!"

"No virtual decay for me!" "I'll just stick to Pilates."

I love her.

hehe, well my mum heard about WiiFit, watched the Ad and then told me to preorder it and was annoyed that it wasn't coming till 2008  

She also enjoyed that spoof ad on you tube...all shown using Wii Internet channel

Preorders are up 10% since yesterday.  The extrapolated preorder value is now closer to 55k, with over a week for preorders.

i think the mass appeal for this accessory/game won't be much, at least initally. if good games that implement the wii board come out (snowboarding game?) come out, that would help it sales wise.

i'm going to guess 105k sold first week.

"if good games that implement the wii board come out (snowboarding game?) come out, that would help it sales wise. "

I do not think that a snowboarding game would be a good match for the board as it is too small for you to get your feet in a proper snowboarding position.

However if there was a snowboarding game supporting dual wii fit boards as an extra it could be cool.

Also, while I think Wii Fit will be a success I really cannot see how you can do Yoga on this thing outside of a few standing Asanas and maybe headstand/shoulderstand (if you can get in the postition on the board for the latter).

Doesn't matter anyway, as I prefer doing Yoga in class (last class, about 20 women with half of them in their 20's and quite a few of those pretty with a couple stunners and me as the only male student, nice).

Wii fit doesn't strike me as a game that a lot of people will preorder, the intended audience just doesn't strike me as the type who would go in and preorder the game



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Preorders are up to ~73,000 using the same extrapolation

feel free to add me whenever (just PM me to let me know)

I also think that the game will get a lot of non preorder sales, especially since its launching on the Weekend instead of thursday
