Wii Fit was Japan only for it's first few months, WF+ is already in 2 regions.

Edit: bah.

Well, if you compare Wii Fit + and Wii Fit in Japan, Wii Fit + is actually doing decently. http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Japan&game1=Wii+Fit+-+Wii&reg2=Japan&game2=Wii+Fit+Plus+-+Wii&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=9&weekly=1

Consider that Wii Fit released in December, whereas Wii Fit + released in October, and Wii Fit + is actually doing very well.

It opened severely worse in Americas, though. But the week 2 dropoff wasn't that harsh, so it may even out at the sales Wii Fit 1 had.

^Yeah, I expect Wii fit plus sales to skyrocket from black Friday onwards

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Well speaking on Wii Fit Plus, I doubt it'll sell more than Wii Fit did but it has a great chance of having a phenomenal holiday season. As those Wii Fit adopters from last year crowd into retail chains for the holidays, a $20 expansion to this game will look very appealing.

Wii Sports Resort, although having something very similar, will be increased similarly this holiday season thanks to huge success of the original (I know it's bundled but if it was seen as a bad game it wouldn't matter). So just something to expect. Of course you'll see NSMB wii explode as well but that is to be expected along with Mario Kart Wii.

Really makes you wonder if there is much room for anything else eh.
