Microsoft is on the attack, saying Nintendo has done a great thing with their Wii product line but Microsoft has a bit more “respect” for the new gamers they’re bringing into the industry. Xbox Europe VP David Gosen launched the shot over Nintendo’s bow at the GameFest UK keynote.
“We’ve seen some research that says 60 percent of people who bought a Wii Fit play it once and don’t play it again.

The game is definitely going to be a smaller title with a niche appeal, you really want to gain as much access to gamers as possible.
Most Wii games, period, collect dust. People don’t buy the Wii because of games.
