Of course, this figure wouldn't be too concerning if I remembered PONG the first time round, but it is a rather worrying 20 years beyond my actual age in the real world.
It seems Nintendo and Wii Fit has arrived just in the nick of time.
Wii Fit is the latest Nintendo craze to spread across the globe from the mind of Shigeru Miyamoto; gamers know him for Mario and Zelda, but if you're reading this, chances are you'll know him for Nintendogs.

The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.

VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform.

The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
