David Gosen used to work for Nintendo of Europe, but after departing with the house that Mario built, he's made his way over to the Xbox division of Microsoft. That doesn't mean he has nothing to say about Nintendo and the Wii, however. In fact, he had some downright shocking things to say in regards to his old employer. "What Nintendo have done with the Wii is truly fantastic – there is no question about it. But I think sometimes there is a thin line between gimmick and great gameplay," he said.
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.
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
Said this over on VG247, but why is he focusing on every console but his own.
Microsoft stop cliaming and stating, and start doing some stuff. You'll need more than XIII to actually make a difference.
you would think 100% of purchasers have played it "once". Maybe he means to say 60% have played it only once where as the remaining 40% played it more often. Overall, 100% of purchasers have played it at least once unless there are some who bought it as a collectors item.
I've played Wii Fit 3 times since I've bought it...
Obviously there's going to be people with no willpower, like any exercise thingy...This will help some gain more motivation in their workouts though.
I'm just waiting for some real games to come out that use the board in fun/cool ways.
