I don't like the Wii Fit either with good reason. It seems like nothing more than an excuse to stay indoors. I'm not going to say going to the gym is better alternative since most people who say that don't really go to the gym. But what ever happened to jogging in the neighborhood or local park for half an hour?

People are buying this either for themselves or their kids thinking that "fun + exercise = more exercise". But in reality it is not much more different than buying that hi tech treadmill for yourself, adding on some mp3 player, and then adding on a cable tv. If these people didn't have the motivation to have some real exercise in the first place, neither will this gadget.

But really, the reason I hate Wii Fit is because it's a scale, masqurading as a game.

"While Mistwalker's latest latest RPG didn't have a first week showing on par with Blue Dragon, it did pretty well."

Sorry it isn't still doing well. This is the same report as before. This is what it sold the first week, read the quote above. Sadly LO won't be tearing up the rpg world.

See what gets to me more than the fact that MS is basically hogging a JRPG studio to itself is how 360 owners don't appreciate them. For them to buy more of Blue Dragon than Lost Odyssey boggles the mind.

I tried Blue Dragon on my friend's 360 for a few hours, it was one of those generic RPGs made catered for the masses. It's like watching a generic anime for children that was horribly dubbed. I really think Lost Odyssey has the studio finally establishing its roots, yet 360 owners would still rather play Halo 3 (not including Mass Effect since I'm a Bioware fan).

Well, at TGS, the lines of people that were waiting to try Wii Fit were longer than MGS4's so, it was expected and sadly (IMO), the same thing might happen in other markets.

i just cant beleive how ds and wii dominated the software sales this week. Anyway I really seriously doubt that people are like yay wii fit now I dont have to go outdoors. I think its more like parents being like well my kids gonna play games either way they should at least move around.

Either way I think the majority of the pople buying it are doing it because its a differnt way to interact with video games.
