Forums - Nintendo - Wii Fit to sell 3-4 million in America in 2008

Take a lood at this link:

http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/02/pachter-says-3-4-million-for-wii-fit-in-2008/

If is does then the consol numers will blow up.

3-4 million x $90 = 270-360 million - WOW !!!!! another bank machine for Nintendo.

Do you think it will sell 3-4 million in America in 2008 ?



Consoles LTD, end 2009, end 2010 - prediction

Wii -  68 million, 90 million - Wii HD in late 2011 - $249

360 - 38 million, 47 million - 720 in late 2010 - $299

PS3 - 31 million, 43 million - slim PS3 in mid 2009 - $299

If this is the Pachter analysis then I'm afraid this has already been posted, if it's not then please ignore me and carry on.

Well seeing as Wii Fit has already sold 1.7 million in 4 months in Japan, I don't see why it won't sell at least 3 million in 7 months in the US. There are a lot of us fat Americans that need it. Pachter had to make an accurate prediction eventually.

Maybe they are paying Oprah like 20 mil just to get it on her show... LOL. ; )



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

I think its possible Wii Fit could have sales like 4 million in America alone, Nintendo did say their going to seriously advertise the game.

 That is not entirely unlikely, Nintendo knows they need more and more aggressive commercials and marketing strategies. This is the one point in which they have a lot to learn outside of Japan yet.



bigjon, if they did it would be the best $20 mill they ever invested.



I think eventually it will definitely sell around that number, but personally if these gas prices hike any higher I'm going to have to hold out on games like that, as much as I want to get it. Most people who work full-time probably share a similar sentiment; not meant to be offensive to those who do not work.

It might sell more than a million or two when released but at $90 a pop it might take a little longer to reach a multi-million goal. Mabye similar to Brawl.



because soccer moms are starting to see wii and wii fit as a workout machine.

JKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS



I think Pachter is guessing low for this, probably closer to 6-7m. Pachter accuracy for anything Nintendo is abysmal. He doesn't understand the casual market at all.
