This seems like a dangerous short. Its sold a massive 14.57 million units according to VGC. I see those numbers only increasing if the Wii Fit balance board becomes necessary for more and more games.
@Arbiter, My suspicion : Someone got a lot of released money by the delisting process, and therefore he/she invested those money to stocks that is overpriced, and Wii Fit are one of the stocks that were chosen.
Who is this someone ? no idea. All I know is that it is not me.
What is your point apu, are you just simply being contrary? It really is a pointless strawman as I can demonstrate:
*First of all, the fact Brain Age 1&2 sold amazingly well in Europe during a period is not a reflect of market saturation. The sheer number of brain training titles is. In fact that Brain age 1&2 continue to see well demonstrates market saturation since there are many other training titles that do not perform. That market is owned/tapped much like the FPS market in the late 90s. This is not a reflection on how well a game will do in the market, only its potential.
*What does any of this have to do with WiiFit? Nothing you say has any sort of affect on current predictions for Brain Trainer products or WiiFit for that matter. Are you defending the current price in some bizarre way?
*Seems to me you're posting just to discredit something I said rhetorically, which is well....lame and what I come to expect the TSE. Why didn't you just downbid me like everyone else apu, it would have been more efficient.
Bunch of pontificates and speculators sitting around patting each other on the backs. Lovely, glad to be a part of the pointless discussion.

I had to take the profit on this yesterday and move on. It's a riskier purchase now but if I had spare cash I would still purchase.
Making games just for the balance board is cheap and viable as in some places, the install base of the balance board rivals that of the PS3!
It's the sort of product that could sell for years.
