Wii Fit vs EA Active

Popmatters writes:

"We all know what you're wondering about these two games. Which is better at making that number on the scale go down? Out of the three articles I've read comparing the differences between Wii Fit and EA Active, the weirdest idea they've seized on is the PR meme that EA Active is a 'Western' game. To paraphrase, thanks to its sweat inducing exercises it can satisfy our cultural expectations for exercise far better than the stretches and few exercises of Wii Fit.

An easier distinction is a mechanical one between the two games: the Wii Fit knows its limits. I've played both games (my unflattering Wii Fit review) and despite the extra sweat EA Active gives me, it's still inferior to the Wii Fit. Obviously a lot of this boils down to my personal opinion, to give a "Western" review neither has made me lose weight, but mechanically EA Active just reaches beyond what the motion controls can really do."

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.

Paytaa1989d ago

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

EddieNX 1989d ago (Edited 1989d 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!

FallenAngel19843112d 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
