I’m sure Wii Fit will take off in the US, just as it has done in Japan and Europe. But, and here’s the thing…Nintendo’s inability to provide stock will hold back sales. When Wii Fit launched in the UK, April 25th most major stores sold out all of their stock in pre-orders and since launch there’s been next to no copies available.

They’ll have more stock allocated to the US, but with a massive promotional push I’m sure we’ll see the same. It seems to be part of the Nintendo sales strategy to create a “it’s sold out everywhere” buzz around their products which is a shame for people who just want to play.
