One theory was from this lady's reply.
NPR's Marketplace explains:
She and her husband started playing every night for at least an hour. After six months, they got tired of the workouts, so Bewley figured she'd just get a new disc for Christmas.
Bewley: But we were really disappointed because all the ones I saw are really like video games.
"Really like video games"? So you mean to tell me your Wii Fit Execrise machine can play video games, madame? Whom was tired of the "workouts", but when you tried to find something "Fun" you pretty much didn't want a video game for your Nintendo Wii? Whoever sold you the Wii idea, was a genius. Barnum & Bailey of their famous circus once said, "A sucker is born every minute." By Golly, they were right.
It's a catch 22. You cannot simply please both causal and hardcore gamer parties. Yet, this makes more sense on why the hardware sales have declined when we have this particular target audience finally speaking up on why they stopped using their Nintendo Wii's.
