Apparently, there is a Nintendo Wii for sale, and that too big time. Having sold over a quarter of a million copies in its first week, and despite not being released outside Japan, the Wii Fit reached the one million unit sales milestone by January. As of July, the game had sold 2,353,000 copies in Japan. Prior to release, the consumer reaction was also positive in the U.K, with some retailers having to stop taking pre-orders due to its increasing popularity. Reports in the United Kingdom state that the Wii Fit launch had seen lines form nationwide.

Michael Pachter, an analyst with Wedbush Morgan Securities, estimated that Nintendo shipped around 500,000 copies of the game in North America, while sending 2 million units to Europe. According to the NPD, they had 690,000 units of the Nintendo Wii for sale in the US in May 2008, making it the country's third highest selling title for the month.
