Even if it is bundled with the balance board, balance board sales would see a bump, and isn't it more significant that the hardware has a larger install base than PS3, even if the software slows.

Now what will be really funny is if Nintendo launches more software in support of the balance board and we see a higher attach rate then the PS3 has. We already know that in order to get a WiiBalance Board you have to buy 1 game (WiiFit) and chances are most if not all WiiFit owners are going to buy WiiFitPlus (Only 29.99$ who wouldn't) so that makes an attach rate of two titles per balance board, then we have the Rayman Raving Rabbids title and the Skiing game from EA and the ShaunWhite snowboarding.

In the end WiiBalance board might beat out the PS3 not only in hardware sales but software sales as well. Its all in Nintendo's hands if they show the hardware love and give it more software it could very well beat out PS3 altogether!

I want to add, that the games Vertigo, Marbles Balance Challenge (Kororinpa 2), Wii Music, Family Ski, Family Ski and Snowboard, EA Sports Active, My Fitness Coach: Cardio Workout, Punch-Out and some more also support the Balance Board.

Exactly my point, I wonder if anyone monitors the WiiBalanceBoards attach rate?

With all this software support it could eclipse PS3 in terms of attach rate let alone hardware sales!
