Rumor: Wii Fit sells 650,000 on first day

wiifit225.jpgThis info comes directly from the statistic geniuses at VGchartz. Their reports clock Nintendo’s new Wii Fit software selling 650,000 units on day one in the United States. Selling for $89.99, Nintendo brought in over 60 million dollars to go straight to the bank. VGchartz states this week’s total sales prediction…

Since Wii Fit is more expensive than Mario Kart or Super Smash Brothers Brawl, but appeals to a wider audience than those titles do, it is difficult to estimate whether it will follow a similar pattern. At a Mario Kart/Smash Brothers week one to day one ratio, the game could end up selling as much as ~1.2 million units in the Americas by May 24th if the current shortages are alleviated by the end of the week. At $90, the game likely will top out at $75 million to $100 million in revenue depending on how severe shortages are during week one.

Though VGchartz has had outstanding real-time accurate source records I’m still labeling these numbers under rumor. Expect an official press release soon.

Either way one thing’s for sure. Wii Fit is truly it. $$$

Have you gotten your “fit” on?
