Patcher Predicts 3-4 Million Wii Fit In US

April 2nd, 2008 by Brian Lockhart in Analyst, Hardware, News, Wii

Wii Fit has already done relatively big and consistent numbers in Japan, but Michael Patcher feels strongly that it will also be quite the hit on American shores. In a recent article with the New York Post, he predicted “Wii Fit will sell 3 million to 4 million in the US if they market aggressively.” Certainly a bold claim, but one that could easily come true. With so many Wii owners into Wii sports, and the fitness craze rounding it out, it seems that Nintendo could have a game that could give just release Smash Bros. Brawl a run for its money in as little as a few months afterwards. With Nintendo already bracing for a success, they are certainly going the extra mile to make sure they have a solid amount of units ready to go on day one.

One thing is for sure, Nintendo needs to stop pumping out these million seller success stories if they ever have any hope of actually getting some Wiis to sit for a reasonable amount of time on store shelves.
