johnlucas said: It's me again. And one of these naggling visions is bothering the hell out of me to the point where I have to post it on e-paper. Halo 3 did TREMENDOUS sales on its opening days. ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS. RECORD-BREAKING and awe-inspiring. Totally impressed by Microsoft's ability to pull it off and standing in opera house applaud at their achievement. MS might as well be Celes from Final Fantasy VI after performing her part in that crazy play. BUT Here I go again. I see something. I see something big. Wii Fit is due in Japan before the end of this year. More than any other market Nintendo has a great command of what the Japanese people want. They've studied the changing demographics as a great portion of the population is aging and have included that in their corporate direction. Hence games like Wii Fit. While it indeed will be popular worldwide and have legs that will last throughout the entire duration of the system's life much like other games in the Wii series, in Japan in particular Wii Fit will shock the world. I'm gonna say it. Wii Fit in Japan *alone* will TRUMP the godsmacking sales of Halo 3 on its opening week. And the only reason I said simply Japan is because the game will not be simultaneously released in all markets. If you include all markets together when the game initially releases this prediction stands even stronger and will trump Halo 3 sales further. Halo 3 even sold in Japan pretty considerable despite that system being basically DOA over there. Wii Fit will do what Halo 3 has done throughout the world and beyond ESPECIALLY in Japan. When Wii Fit hits this board will be in a tailspin of disbelief and I fear the moderators will have their hands full with people in disgust at these turns of events agitating themselves up to banhood as what often happens when folks take this stuff too personally. People can never say I'm a boring guy. Who else has the balls to make these insane in the membrane predictions and stand by them closer than Tammy Wynette stands by her man? Take your shots now and have fun discussing what I presented here. I enjoy the abuse. John Lucas |
