I normally disregard most of what Patcher says, but for a change I highly agree with him. In his recent statement he's speaking highly of EA and thinks that EA Sports Active is going to be big.  Here's why I agree with him:  

This is a friend of mine, Lita.  She's in her mid 30's and one of those cosplay convention friends of mine (she wants to nail me too but that's a given really).  Anyway, she has mentioned this game to me.  She owns the Wii and a handful of other games - Wii Fit, Jillian Anderson's Fitness thing, and something else fitness releated. See a trend here?  She pretty much goes for those types of things on the Wii (though oddly enough she downloads a ton of old games on the VC too).  

So anyway she's recently mentioned that she's preordering EA Sports Active.  She normally doesn't know about too many games before their release but she's geared up for this game.  Apparently this is the next fitness game to break into the psyche of the stereotypical Wii gamer that doesn't play games on it.   So I'm gonna go ahead and say it, EA Sports Active is going to be the next mega seller - 2 million worldwide.

And hell it doesn't really affect anyone in here, but I like posting pictures of her and it was topical so screw you if you don't like it.

She only want to nail a minor God like you to get closer to me, the God of Justice.

P.S. I have a sister so I will probably hear about it to. And Tiger Woods will probably also sell similar numbers.

I'm really looking forward to Tiger Woods.  I usually get one golf game each gen, and enjoyed the hell out of Wii Sports Golf.  The videos of Tiger Woods are looking really good though, so I think its time for me to take the plunge.

This is a woman who goes to comic conventions and renaissance festivals. Do you really think she doesn't have a bunch of "enthusiast fans" already?

Ass.

EA Sports...... active. What can I say. Someone who buys fitness game after fitness game is not great indicator of sales. That's like saying that the next JRPG game will sell because some crazy suckah has bought every JRPG since the NES.

That's a major apples and oranges comparison.  With JRPGs I'd agree.  But the Fitness genre isn't one that's been around for 20 years and that aside from 2 or 3 notable series, rarely breaks a half a million copies per release.  

The reason why I'm using her as an example is because she's someone who doesn't sit on a gaming site looking at what's coming down the pipeline.  She goes into a store like Target or Best Buy and see's something interesting and picks it up.  She's the very audience that Nintendo was trying to reach.  For her to be aware of a game that's still 2 months away from release is pretty remarkable.
