Microsoft attempts to compete with Wii Fit: 360 games are good exercise too

With Wii Fit encouraging gamers around the world to get up and active and selling like nobody's business in the process, Sony and Microsoft bigwigs, understandably, may be getting a bit hot under the collar.

Without the same kind of product, the latter of the two has found another way, somewhat desperately, to build bridges between gaming and fitness - by sponsoring the BGCA's first-ever National Family Fitness Day and placing Konami's Dance Dance Revolution Universe 2 at the centre of it.

The heat coming from the box...will make you sweat buckets.

I feel bad for the fat people who got RROD...they wont get a chance to lose weight :(

Not so much exercising...more like sitting in a sauna.

nintendostar5860d ago

I thought the 360 was too hardcore for casual games

Counter_ACT5860d ago

Seems to be. Not sure how well this will do, it's hard to say.

Amanosenpai5860d ago

MS you should start working on Halo 4 or a new SKU...

resistance1005860d ago

Lol no games really benefit you that much, even Wii Fit doesn't greatly. If you want good exercise take up a sport or go to the gym, or even go on Walks now and then

games4fun5860d ago

i have a game idea that would really help you exercise the screen says go run for this amount of time and come back afterwards and continues to give you instructions to do things... bu alas it appears people only just need to use their brains to figure that out, i didn't realize so many people didnt have brains (everyone who buys wii fit)

NewScratch5860d ago

i'm thinking about getting my uncle a wii w/ wiifit. we used to rent 8bit nintendo and jeopardy and wheel of fortune. maybe he'll stop watching so much westerns and baseball and start working out.

or maybe thats the point of getting old. either way, it seems a good idea.

on the subject, what ever happened to the games like jeopardy, wheel of fortune, family feud, monopoly for the consoles. seems like now would be a good time to bring them back...

Highlife2012d ago

Yeah as a gamer that list sucks. Wouldn't be to prod of that.

Paytaa2012d ago

Oh you're one of those real gamers

Literal_Cringe2012d ago

You're not much of a gamer then.

lxeasy2012d ago

Damn Nintendo Domination!

King_Noctis2012d ago

Kindda surprising actually. All games are from Nintendo.

darthv722012d ago

And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.

Imalwaysright2012d ago

Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

telekineticmantis2012d ago

Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.

There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.

Paytaa2012d ago

The only other game's that cracked the Top 15 aside from Nintendo were Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo 4.

EddieNX 2012d ago (Edited 2012d ago )

Good. I adore Halo!! It's the only online shooting game for me.

The Wii was a beast! The entire top 10 selling more than 10 million units each!

FallenAngel19843135d ago

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
