"We have not been able to launch it as a commercial product because we could not get it to work as we expected and it was of narrower application than we had originally thought," he told investors. According to Iwata's estimates, approximately 90 out of 100 people were able to use the Vitality Sensor without a hitch, though he (thankfully) requires that it work with "1,000 of 1,000 people." However, he admitted "but [since we use the living body signal with individual differences] it is a little bit of a stretch to make it applicable to every single person."

Seriously... It's interesting that they wanted to get this to work 100% on everyone, and yet they released the 3DS which was already known to not work on 10% of the population. Where does Nintendo draw the line on gimmickry?
