Thoughts:

11 weeks and counting.  Still no supply of Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board on Amazon.com.

Also this week, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is discounted by 15% on Amazon.com right now, to $42.54, the lowest I think it's been when I've done the reports.

Wii Sports Resort is still putting up pretty decent hours each week, and hopefully continued sales of Wii Sports Resort, will mean better sales for games like Red Steel 2 and even Rage of the Gladiator(WiiWare), both of which use the Wii MotionPlus accessory.

Questions:

Do you find it interesting that Wii Fit Plus has the fewest review scores, out of these three games?
Why do you think it is?  
Perhaps it's because it would require the "reviewers" to be active?  Or maybe the cost is the reason?
