Sales will be "THIS BIG!" (Image from IGN.com)

I'm excited for Wii Fit. For one, I'm a fattie, I need every tool in the arsenal to fight that. Two, the potential for future games is huge, especially since you can combine the motion controls of the Wii Remote and nunchuck with the balance board... wow.

Which brings us to the latest Reggie Files-Aime interview with IGN. In it, the Nintendo president talks about 10 titles being in development for the Wii Fit balance board outside of the packed in software. That sounds good to me.

The game also creates a channel on your Wii's menu screen, which tracks your progress, such as BMI.

So far Wii Fit has sold 1.2 million in Japan. That's amazing considering that you are talking about an $83 package with a large peripheral. Nintendo is shipping a million of these in America, expecting the same results. Will they get it? I think so. Of course to deny Nintendo at this point is almost impossible, but you know they are going to get a massive wave of mainstream media support, from your local 6 'O Clock news to national morning shows.

The most interesting thing to me is that Nintendo sees Wii Fit as "the sequel" to Wii Sports, the next title that will sustain its new found casual fans. It'll be interesting to see if that holds true, and if any of those fans can be converted to other games, and what those are.
