Wii Fit is a curious but logical step forward for mainstream-savvy Nintendo. This is a company that is using the medium it helped pioneer to enrich lives and improve the quality of life of its users. It's a commendable move – taking a responsible stance towards a mostly sedentary hobby. Parents will love it; it gets their kids off their butts and into sports – even if it's still in front of the tube.
Kids will go for the micro-games and competitive elements. Stay-at-home mums can work out pent-up anger and health-nuts might use this as the excuse they need to buy a Wii. Old people will still scratch their heads, though. And gamers? Well… at least they can't say nobody ever tried to do the right thing by them.

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
