Wii Fit doesn't try to motivate you with before and after photos. It doesn't try to motivate you with testimonials from fitness gurus. It doesn't even offer you three easy payments.
But it does entice you to get into shape by making working out look like fun. And that it does very well.
In fact, Wii Fit might be some of the most fun you can have by just more or less standing still, which must make it about as mass market friendly as any video game product ever was.
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
Now my mom will want one
There was a line about 15 deep at Toys R Us today which I found surprising. I didn't expect it to be like that. The store only had 12 for sale since the rest went to pre-orders. The lady in front of me was talking about how she was going to snatch up as many as she can from other stores to sell on eBay for $200. The greed just makes me sick. I don't mind someone trying to make money, just not when they create the supply problem. I hope she ends up sitting on them like those who bought the PS3 at launch.
Edit: Great I get a disagree already. Must be an eBay hustler.
EyeToy Kinetic is like 10 times better ;)
I wanna know who will actually play Wii fit seriously.. The Wii is like a bad infomercial.. They just keep coming out with crazy crap and everyone is mesmerized by it.. and the funny thing, just like infomercial crap.. People buy it.. Never use it.. and think why did I buy this..
90 bucks for this thing.... Wii is like a High maintenance girl.. You have to keep buying accessories for her..
It may be the cheapest console on the market.. but with all the crap you have to buy to play certain games it comes out to way more then the next gen consoles
Wii sports and wii play too? I rather play Haze or even Lair for all eternity than play those embarrassing attempts of game development. Nintendo probably put the new recruits on the team of "Wii games" while their engineers in combo with miyamoto will develop the next zelda (and the tech guys probably hate the Wii hardware power or lack thereof)
