I am just wondering when will Wii Fit be featured at Oprah? I mean given its viewers demographics and Nintendo's willingness to spend money to market this game. Either they get a free adverstisement my being feautred or Nintendo should go ahead and buy one full episode and advertise on the show on a regualr basis. The efects will be surely beneficial. Oprah sells millions of books etc. I am predicting one full month of commercials at Oprah will mean one million sales in the long run. Worth the investment.

 If you were Nintendo, when should they advertise at Oprah to maximize potentials (short term and long term)? Remember Wii Fit is meant to be a game with HUGE Legs potential.  During Launch Week? One Month after? Holidays? Mother's Dayother Holidays?

hmm... good point
we all just assume its gonna be on Oprah's show
though i'm not sure if its even confirmed
but i do hope so though...

it will be big!
She'll probably give everyone a free wii
with wiifit and all...

"Ladies, look under your seats. WiiFit is calling you..."

Haha then again, her ratings might drop
i mean, instead of watching her, they'll be
busy loosing weight. I wonder if she'll bring
Miyamoto himself on her show two months later...
only to humiliate him b/c she made this a
"Fitness of the Month" product lol

im just talking out of my ass... again
sorry :)

I'm guessing it'll be featured in one of her shows where she gives away heaps of goods, because I can't really see wii fit taking up an entire show by itself, though it'd be interesting if reggie or miyamoto was on her show :)

Never. Wii Fit is the one thing that can Challenge Oprea's dominance over the world. As such they are mortal enemys.

Interestingly, Wiifit decided to start in japan, then move through europe finally taking over NA.  It's a surprising tactic.

Me I perfer the Europe, through asia, through Kamatchaka to attack NA from Alaska.  Since it's on the end of the board, your newer or less observant players tend to leave less troops there since if they don't have any asian holdings look less at that side of the board.

It wont cos Oprah exceeds the max weight, fat hag :)

Not if you're like a plague. You start in the middle and expand. Domination is quickest that way.

I've always said Wii Fit will be huge and the preorders so far seem to back it up. Awhile back I remember people making very conservative predictions that Wii Fit would only sell like a million units. I still say that by the end of this generation, North American Wii Fit sales will surpass worldwide combined sales of GTA4. Yes it will be that big!

Oh seriously, you got to be kidding me?! This makes me really sick to my stomach.

I doubt they'd put it on Oprah anytime soon.. unless they have an unprecedented number of them ready to be shipped.. why pay that much for advertising on Oprah when all of the preorders and shipments are completely sold out

 ROTFL!   I was thinking the same thing...

But perhaps they could do even better: build a special one in kevlar + carbon nanotubes strong enough to resist Tom Cruise's jumps (so it only needs to be as rugged as Oprah's sofa ) and do a great show with Oprah and the Little Big Clam!
