@PhilHarrision, It depend on how different WFP compared to WF.
If it is very different, then it will be treated as separate/new thing.
If it is just slight enhancement, it COULD be treated as same (like DS & DSL, or International version/Director's Cut version of Japanese games.) Personally, I believe that Nintendo are not going to release a radically different games for BB just 1.5 years (in US) after release of Wii Fit. Especially since Wii Fit is still in the sold-out status in US.
I am going to gamble on the long side of this stock, since the only time (AFAIK) Nintendo ever release a sequel when the previous version are still very, very well is Brain Age 2. Animal Crossing doesn't count since it is for different platform (DS & Wii).
@oznerol, I posed this question earlier in the general Wii Fit thread but since your article on the same subject seems to be getting the notice I will ask it here:
If Wii Fit Plus is new software being bundled with the Balance Board that would have to be treated as a NEW thing by TSE right? So if this rumour is true our projections for Wii Fit need to come down.
A GoNintendo reader by the name of Maxemillian_X recently snapped a picture of an upcoming release list from an Amsterdam-based gaming retailer which reveals two interesting pieces of Wii news. The first (and somewhat more reasonable) item is a supposed July 10 release date for the Wii Sports Resort and Wii MotionPlus bundle, as well as the standalone MotionPlus peripheral.
Nintendo’s Wii Fit has returned to the top of the UK charts for the first time since mid-February, as the hardware bundle continues to play the role of default UK number one -- in the absence of any other major new releases.
Kotaku just confirmed with the NPD Group that Wii Fit's lifetime sales has topped Halo 3's. As of the end of February Wii Fit has sold 6 million copies in the U.S. while Xbox 360 goliath has moved 5.9 million copies in its life time.
Nintendo's Wii Fit has taken the lead once again in the UK software sales chart for the third consecutive week, despite sales dropping 17 per cent. The balance board title has become the videogame giant's second best performing title in the region, alongside Pokemon Gold, with a total of seven weeks at the top spot.
