Yeah I understand all that but it can give some interesting stats. Just got to use the data right, really understanding the consumer that's buying the product, knowing what percent that consumer makes in the market, and then judge from there what percent of this certain type of gamer bought "Product A" and then "Product B" and so on, though it would be a small sampling it could give some early guesses till more numbers from other sources can be gathered, like all survey data it all deals with how well you understand the numbers you're looking at, but still it's one extra sample that can be combined with many others to make a much better analysis of the market.

WiiFit will sell out in every market it hits - that simple. Might be as high as 1m in US and 1m in Europe - but only Ninty knows the allocations.

I have it pre-ordered, and I NEVER pre-order anything outside of a launch period.

I'm thinking of getting it, to keep up with exercising as I haven't been able to hit the gym like I used to, I've been so busy lately, but I love exercising, it's hard to motivate myself to exercise outside of a gym so putting it into game form might do the trick.

can we use our vgc $ in the shop ;)

This is a GREAT idea, ioi! VGC needs to become better-known, and a store is a fantastic way to do it.

Only problem I can see is you know there's a couple fanboys on here who'll buy 10 copies of a game from the store and laugh and point on the forums about which version sold better :P

sold out. I think if it were just a game and were supplied nearly limitlessly then we would have incredibly higher sales.

However, since it is bundled with a balance board and those are much more complicated and costly to produce. We will see it sold out. If Nintendo ships 1m per region, expect 1m per region sold in first week.

It will stay sold in in NA for some time afterward as well. Mark my words, this is a defining game and it will keep the Wii sold out for the rest of the year.

I think Nintendo is stockpiling wiis for wii fit launch. I expect huge sales of wii in addition to wii fit during launch week....

Excellent News ioi, Wii fit is going to be huge.

ioi you can thank me and fishy for the suggestion of the VGC Store =P

grant it you don't have the link where we suggested it, heh.

The only thing I would be worried about when sampling data from the VGC Store would be the fact that a very specific crowd comes to VGC. It really isnt and never will be a true representation of the outside world. Im sure you've thought of this, ioi, but I just wanted to remind you. It makes me feel better lol. With that said, I can tell traffic has been picking up and I hope you are actively seeking a bigger chunk of the market in terms of surveying fr more accurate numbers. However, comparing Media Create numbers and this weeks VGC numbers, I see an almost identical list for the most part. Keep up the great work and hopefully this income will help bring more dedicated people on board so we can keep expanding.
