Thoughts/Questions:

Seven weeks and counting now, Amazon.com is still out-of-stock of Wii Fit Plus with the Wii Balance Board.  Currently, the starting price shown for a new copy of Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board is $174.90.  Some asking prices are over $200 for it.

Last week I "predicted" that New Super Mario Bros. Wii will pass Wii Sports Resort's "Total" game-play hours reported on May 1, 2010.  I said I think both games will be reporting right around 6,800,000, with New Super Mario Bros. Wii "...slightly ahead of Wii Sports Resort."

Well, my prediction for May 1st, almost came true this week!  I think New Super Mario Bros. Wii will probably pass 7,000,000 "Total" hours reported next week.

Why do you think Wii Fit Plus is still sold out?  Do you think it's simply because of production issues with the Wii Balance Board?
