Wii Fit is Nintendo's answer to that. In this blogger's opinion, it is more than just a peripheral. It represents Nintendo's best effort to re-invigorate the sagging console market in the land of the rising sun.

The fitness device (and snowboarding simulator, it seems!) has, according to nintendowiifanboy.com, taken in 300,000 preorders in Japan. This, hopefully, points to another success.
