''When Nintendo bundled Wii Sports with its latest console, Wii, it stumbled upon a gaming audience that few game makers knew existed or, let's be honest, cared about: people who don't normally play games. Wii Fit is, you could say, the spiritual follow-up to Wii Sports. It's not a sequel -- one is a sports game that is played with just the Wii-mote, and the other is a fitness tool that uses the new Wii Balance Board. However, there is something both titles have in common: they're both aimed at non-gamers.
Wii Fit is played almost entirely with the Wii Balance Board, a small platform that when stood on detects body weight and your center of balance. There are four different exercise categories: yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance games. By standing on the device while performing different exercises, Wii Fit is able to measure your center of balance and rate your performance. You can also take a body test each day, which the game uses to measure and provide you with day-to-day statistical data, including your weight, body mass index (BMI) and Wii Fit Age.''
This hardcore gamer grandma has put nearly 4,000 days into Wii Fit!
The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.
Take a look at the 50 best selling games of all time https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
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.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
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
