I actually do want Wii Fit just because 1) its cute and 2) it would make me move around for 30 mins a day. I don't like jogging outside as my face goes bright red so this would be perfect for me..
thats if
1) it was readily available in stores.
2) it wasn't so damned expensive
3) I had a wii

I got this for my Wii and I gotta tell you my kids LOVE it. They started doing those mini exercises and haven't stopped since. BIZARRE.
But they have fun, even more so when I try to join the festivities.

$90+, tons of looking around for it, played it 3 times.
This was 3 weeks ago. It's been sitting there ever since.

I never jumped at the chance to get one, but I can see how it might interest the Wii crowd.
I can also see how (like regular exercise) people could easily stop using it after a while. Looks like it could really give you a decent workout.

I'll likely pick one up once there's a decent light gun-esque game released that utilizes the board a la Time Crisis. 'Til then... meh.
I get the sinking feeling that this is just some web poll. Not that the numbers are necessarily out of line, it just seems like a bad precedent to report them as "hard news"? :)
I'm sure overhyped games of all flavors get a lot of people buying them and setting them aside. My copy of SSBB...played once.
Also, these types of games get unfairly singled out. You pick up a typical action game and play it every day for a month or two then quit, it's a success! You pick up Brain Age and play almost every day for a couple months than move on....you're a quitter!

still can't get it anywhere- I would be more interested to see how many people really want to use it but can't get it
I NEVER would have seen this coming.
Not in a MILLION YEARS would I have thought this was just a fad that people were buying just because it was there.
As a society, if we can't enjoy gimmicky "games" that are overly expensive, mind-numbingly repetetive, and require full body exertion, what CAN we enjoy?

I've been using Wii Fit regularly since I bought it. But I also take a break from it for a day or two.
The type of people who stop using Wii Fit seem like the same type who stop going to the gym. Wii Fit was never intending to be a "game" in the first place. It's a collection of exercises. Running on a treadmill or lifting weights is just as repetitive as Wii Fit.
The real question is do the people who bought Wii Fit actually want to work out this way? Would they prefer a gym setting or another home fitness setup? Or, do they want to lose weight but can't make the commitment for daily training? Do they want to work out at all?

Like Mystic Violet said, this sounds about the same as pretty much like the results of the average person engaging in any exercise regime. Most people keep up with it a week or two and quit.
I'll just draw your attention here:

Almost everyday since it came out. Thank you. Though this past week was my worst. More an that Monday though I guess.
