This is so ridiculous. Since when is a game coming with an expensive peripheral an unfair advantage? Doesn't anyone remember the old conventional wisdom about peripherals always failing? Now they're "pack-ins" and they "don't count." Wow.

that's a good point but, the wiifit board will be used for other games, such as tony crap hawk and ssxblurry crap.

those type of games could see an increase in sales because of the wiifit board

but also the board will become a hot item to those fans of that genre 

The Board 

WiiSports will come first, but that's not a very fair comparison given its bundling.

I do think WiiFit will be the top non-bundled game this generation - and it has a real chance of selling 10m units this year alone. Its still doing approx 100k / week in Japan - 2 months after release.

Wii Sport is the best selling game this generation, after Wii play, Wii fit, SSBB, MKWii.

I predict a LOT of people will get a Wii just for Wii Fit, and may never get another game, but then again, Nintendo is using Wii Fit to lure in the masses, so they have plans for getting them to buy more.

But I digress... The real question is will Wii Fit outsell Wii Play (excluding Wii Sports since it's packed it). As I said, a lot of Wii Fit owners won't care about 'traditional' games, and that includes Wii Play, but I can see a lot of them eventually getting Wii Play as well, which means Wii Play will benefit from Wii Fit sales.

It'll be close, but I'd put Wii Play a hair above Wii Fit.

if there is a god, it won't

 Sorry, but it will go far beyond any of the "hardcore" games in sales

It has stronger legs than Play and sports in japan, and will likely be as or even more popular here, especially once Oprah and Colbert use it 

wii sports obviously doesn't count except for the japan sales which are approaching 3 million. wii play doesn't count because its bundled with a controller and is a freakin 10 dollar game. when 4/5ths of what the consumer is purchasing is the controller and they get some little demo game as an add-on for 10 extra dollars that does not count in the same rankings as normal stand alone games.

difference with the wii board is that its actually made for the game. with links crossbow, the zapper is a pointless piece of plastic so they threw in a game and sell it for a budget game price of $25 so that the zapper actually gets out to consumers instead of sitting on store shelves looking like a funky white useless piece of crap. so the game is whats pushing sales of the zapper for the most part except for maybe some sad souls who actually think the zapper is more than a wiimote/nunchunk stand.

so, now that that's settled. ssbb, mario kart, wiifit are all in the running. i would say smg but ssbb and wiifit have already proven that they are gonna destroy smg in japan and i'm guessing mario kart will too. and in the west mario kart and smash bros are as proven as mario. the only question is how well will wiifit do in the west, and i'm guessing its gonna have decent first weeks and then have absolutely huge legs and move on past smg. everyone is assuming that no other games can challenge these 3 or 4 games this gen which is probably correct. but it'll be interesting to see if any unannounced wii games coming out in say '09 might explode and have a shot.

obv this is not a joke topic...you disagreeing with OP != joke topic

and Americans eat up abcizers, thighmasters, etc etc so they will eat this up...Wii Fit will sell at least 10mil in US alone in the next 3 years
