Nintendo plan to spend $40m launching Wii Fit: Releases in UK April 25, USA May 19th

You probably all well know now that the Nintendo Wii Fit releases in the UK on April 25th, but what you may not know is that Nintendo plan to spend $40m on the Wii Fit launch.

The Wii Fit game obviously a massive hit with the American weight-loss market and diet-hungry Americans following its release on May 19th. This game could sell as much as 4 million copies following the American release.

If these figures are correct then it would beat one of the best shooter games out at the moment Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare which has sold more than 3 million copies to date is the US.

Wii Fit has already sold 1.5 million copies in Japan; we can see smashing the charts hands down.
