John Davison writes: "With the release of EA Sports Active come the inevitable questions about how it compares to Wii Fit. EA Sports' timing is near perfect, launching the title a year after Nintendo's groundbreaking and phenomenally successful product, while leveraging the guilt that many of us feel for leaving it gathering dust in the corner. Can video games really get us up off the couch and on the path to losing weight? Wii Fit certainly proved that we all had the will, but can EA Sports Active finally provide the way?
Though the two games are designed to inspire the same kinds of activities and achieve similar results, they are actually very different in terms of execution. Electronic Arts is keen to point out that Wii Fit offers more of an "Eastern" approach to fitness that's focused on health and wellness, while EA Sports Active embodies a more "Western" approach that makes you sweat more.
So are they really that different? Will one help you burn off the flab more than the other? We spent some time with both products to catalog the differences and the similarities."
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
