Forums - Nintendo - (UK) WiiFit smashes Nintendo's MK record, 3rd biggest($) launch ever

Given those UK numbers, I'd expect around 750k total sales in Europe (first two days).

600k minimum, 1 million maximum.

@ Shams

Yes, I know they're just UK, but thanks for telling anyway.

I'll try to predict WF sales for first week across all of Europe.

UK = About 230K. Rate = About 1/12.

Total Wiis in UK = 2.8M

Total Wiis in Europe = 8.0M

Total Wii Fits sold if same rate = 657K

Wii games tend to have bigger opening in UK, so I'll say 575-625K for total Europe.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Japanese attach rate is 32% and climbing, and the launch in UK alone rivals the Japanese launch, even though the UK market is half the size.

I stand by my opinion that this game will have a 25% lifetime attach rate worldwide. It will peak higher and slide down, but continued software support will maintain Wii Fit sales for the board alone.

I don't get it, in the Netherlands WII Fit is not even in the charts. Totally not interested in the low lands? I would have bought it here in the Netherlands but have to wait for the US version, which is for the first time it will cost me more than buying in Europe

 Wiifit sales weren't included, but not because it sold bad, I can even tell you it is sold out everywhere in the Netherlands.



Nice launch.

 Depends on what you're looking for.

Put it this way, its closest competitors are Wii Sports and Dance Dance Revolution.

We (Australians) don't get it for another week :(

Can't wait - its my most anticipated title since the Wii launched (even more so than Galaxy!).

You've got it good.

We (Americans) have to wait until mid May! While I'm not really interested in the game, I'm sure this is bothering some people on the forums.
