With Wii Fit looking like it will eventually outsell PS3's entire Installed Base, is it possible for WM+ to do the same? Or Will it at the very Least outsell the Gamecube's LTD sales? It's coming bundled with sure fire Million + sellers Like Tiger 10 and Red Steel 2, and of course WSR.

What do you think?

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:

If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

I doubt we'll ever have a good handle on the WM+ install base. It's just going to be included in too many SKUs. But yeah, all those SKUs and the fact that most people will want at least two... huge install base.

More games comes packed in with a WM+ and people will want more than one M+ to play with on their console so yes, definitely, absolutely

Doubt it. I'd say about 13-18M.

We'll be able to get a rough estimate by the sales of WSR+ other WM+ games +/- 5,6%

Yes! As others have said, people will want more than one. The Wii only supports one Bb at a time but it'll be able to support 4 M+. I'll go with 20 million+ sales. If I'm wrong...I blame Motion Plus. Can we start using that?

Who knows how many people will buy. A lot of people are already satisfied with what the wii does and paying ~30$ per M+ is going to scare some people away.
