I live in cali was in gamestop yesterday and i saw at least 15 wii fits sitting there. Maybe California people are super cool and don't need nintendo telling us we are fat:D

I ordered two of them from bestbuy.com...on the release day.

It maybe selling well but it is not sold out everywhere. Ebay prices are only in the low to mid $100 range.

Well its true. With America's obesity rate at what it is right now, there's no way a "Game" is going to help them get to a healthy weight. In fact, Wii Fit shouldn't be used as a primary weight loss program/exercise method. If anything, it should let people know that if you know you're overweight, and can find the time to get on top of a board that may not work for you, step outside a couple of times a week until you can. By that time hopefully, they'll keep up the exercise on their own.

I just can't believe people buying this crap. To what to lose weight? Fools don't know nothing about losing weight, if anything Wii Fit will just maintain your current weight of fat, that is all it'll do. Go to a damn gym and shed some pounds there, forget about what people would say about you.

I'm skinny and I was intimidated at first when I saw those members of my gym freaking huge (some I question if it was by some "illegal substances") but hey, here I am typing this, with my legs sore as hell, my muscle tissue broken in order to expand and grow more muscle, waiting for it to be Monday and start with my upper body, Tuesday my chest and Wednesday my back, rinse and repeat and you'll see results fast, and efficient and I just wasted 35 bucks for a monthly membership but are money well spent for something that'll benefit me the way I want it to.

Yes, Nintendo knew they could have sold 10 million copies of Wii Fit during the NA launch so they sent 800K. I swear these analysts must have all gotten their degrees from ICS (See video if you aren't old enough to remember Sally Struthers hocking this cr*p in the 80's.)

"Americans will still be fat in a few months"
Oh how they read my mind perfectly about this WiiFit, I just wonder how many people are going to either try and return the game to the store or sell it in a garage sale. Man the Wii news reports gave me some good laughs. :D

Is It just me or do any of you others look at how much the wii fit is selling and think society is going down hill very fast. Anyone that buys the wii fit to loose weight is a complete and utter idiot, and if it were possible and would slap each and everyone of them very hard and call them a stupid fat git.
