New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit Plus, & Wii Sports Resort: Data

Quick Brew Info:
It has been since May 17, since we looked at these three games together.  I may organize a few games differently going forward; but this week it's time to see how busy the beach in Wii Sports Resort has been, along with how much the Wii Balance Board has been used, and how much Mario is being played in his 2D universe.
The data reported below is compared with the data that was captured/reported from May 17.  Read the May data HERE.

GameRankings.com Review Score Averages:
Just a quick note, if you check the last POST, and this post; you may notice that the number of Wii Fit Plus reviews actually decreased by one.  I know GameRankings.com can update which sites they use for the averages, so I guess they decided to make one review/site not be averaged into Wii Fit Plus' score.

Thoughts:
New Super Mario Bros. Wii continues to perform extremely well in "Total" hours and hours averaged "Per person".
The price on New Super Mario Bros. Wii has been discounted to around $35 for the last few weeks on Amazon.com, and Reggie Fils-Aime, the President and COO of Nintendo of America, confirmed at E3 that New Super Mario Bros. Wii has sold more than 14 million copies worldwide, since its release.

Questions:
Have you played Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, and/or New Super Mario Bros. Wii since I last reported the data for all three games?
If you haven't purchased New Super Mario Bros. Wii, is there a "magic" price that would get you closer to purchasing it?

Thoughts:
It has been 4 weeks since I showed the data for these three games.
On May 3, Nintendo announced they would be releasing a Black Wii Console in North America, on May 9; bundling it with the original Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and a WM+ unit, all for $199.99.  They also have the White Wii in the same bundle now as well.
Also, Amazon.com currently has the Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board bundle in stock; so if you know anybody that has been looking for it, you may want to let them know.
I think it is interesting that New Super Mario Bros. Wii is on sale for $34.99 right now, perhaps it is because of Super Mario Galaxy 2's release this coming Sunday?

Questions:
Have you played Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus, and/or New Super Mario Bros. Wii in the last 4 weeks?

Thoughts:
Amazon.com is again out-of-stock of the Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board bundle, two weeks and counting.
I also am surprised that New Super Mario Bros. Wii is currently selling at a lower price than Wii Sports Resort.

Tomorrow, Monday April 26, is the start of a new week, for the data.  I will be reporting on different games this next week, and this data should be back in about two weeks time!

Thoughts:
Well, Amazon.com is now out-of-stock again, of the Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board bundle.
The last time this happened, Amazon.com was out-of-stock for 12 weeks before getting the bundle back in stock, that was just last week.
I understand the Wii is popular, but I'm really confused how Amazon.com was out of stock for 12 weeks of Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board, they had it back in stock for about a week and a half, and now it is out again.
During the last week and a half, when Amazon.com had it in stock directly, Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board was ranked #1 on Amazon.com.  Today is the first day I've seen it out-of-stock, and the game has slipped to #2 now in the ranks.

Question:
I know some of you own Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board, is the game still being played regularly in your house?

Thoughts:

Well, Amazon.com has Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board back in stock!  Not only is Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board back in stock, but it's also sitting at the #1 spot, making it currently the most sold video game on Amazon.com.

Amazon.com had gone 12-weeks without the bundle in stock, and just yesterday when I checked they had it in stock, and again tonight!

Question:

Do you know anybody that's been looking for Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board, but hasn't purchased it due to them not being able to find it?

Do you think Amazon.com will run out of stock again of Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board, or do you think people may have given up looking for it, and Amazon.com will now be able to meet demand?

I'll be watching the status of it on Amazon.com, and I really wonder how long it will stay in stock, and I wonder if Nintendo lost a lot of customers since January, because they weren't able to find the bundle.

12 weeks and counting.  Still no supply of Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board on Amazon.com.  It's the end of March now, and the last I was informed, Wii Fit Plus w/ Balance Board was supposed to be back in stock by the end of March, so perhaps tomorrow it will be?

If you haven't played New Super Mario Bros. Wii and have been waiting for a price drop, Amazon.com is selling the game for more than 20% off the MSRP, for $39.54 with free shipping.
