For what it's worth, I've been looking for a Wii Fit since it was released and haven't had much luck. Just as with the Wii, by the time supply catches up, it'll have sold so many that it can't possibly be a fad any longer. :p

I got lucky and pre-ordered mine through the VGChartz store, and it sold out at Amazon just a few days later. Imagine, if I waited just a few more days, I WOULDN'T BE THIS INSANELY BUFF!!!

I thought if a game sold 80% of its sales in the first week, that meant that it was hardcore as only hardcore gamers wait outside to get a game when its released.  Confirmed WiiFit and Wii are more hardcore than PS3 and Xbox360 games .  Honestly though, it goes back to what is said before.  American dollar = weak.  They make more money from Japan and Europe based on price.  As such, they are going to quench demand on those contents before America will get significant shipments.  This is aside from the US launch which Nintendo likes to do to get hype going and show 3rd parties what could be for them.

It may be dropping but thats probaly because unlike wiisports it doesn't come packed in and is somewhat more expensive. And who knows maybe they are stocking up on wiifit now to.     DAMN YOU NINTENDO AND YOUR SUCCES!!!!!!! .............................................................keep making kick ass games though. :)

I have been trying to buy since launch. My local has a list of 40 people waiting and told me I may have to wait 2 months to get it from them. I live in the uk.

I wouldn't call it a fad. As you can see from what's posted above,, Wii Fit's sales fluctuate from week to week, going down a few weeks, than going higher than the week before. Notice how sales went down in Europe and Japan in Week 7,the week of the Americas release.

Obviously, this is all due to supply constraint. Even if this was a fad, it has sold enough. It's not possible for this game's sales to fall off the map any time soon. Having supply constraint has one itty bitty silver lining though. By the time supply is returned, the Wii will have an even bigger userbase, getting Wii Fit...to more...peop- forget it.

ITS NOT A FAD.

Yeah Nintendo manufacture every single piece that's required to make the balance board.....

Wiifit in japan is/was huge, great sales for one country. But the dropoff in the Americas region is gigantic in week 3 it sold about half it when comparing it too japan. Others seems fine at first sigh, but an area with multiple times the population is already tracking under Japan considering weekly sales. discuss

congrats

you win the contest in "most stupid thread ever" category

Did you look at the number in Japan ? They started high and then decreased due to shortage

it's exactly the same in Europe (also, it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to find it in france)

and it will be the same in America for sure

thanks

It's going to be a "fad" all the way up till Christmas... Christmas '09 the way it's going at the moment.

Supply is the problem. Because Nintendo is too conservative, spend 30 million on marketing and not have enough supply. This is getting boring now.
