Gosen: 60% of Wii Fit purchasers played it 'once'

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.

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.

Kindda surprising actually. All games are from Nintendo.

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

Paytaa2000d ago

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

EddieNX 2000d ago (Edited 2000d 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!

FallenAngel19843122d 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
