Gamedaily writes: ""Our hope is that Wii Fit will bring video games to people who've never experienced them before," said Nintendo's legendary game creator Shigeru Miyamoto. "With Wii Fit, we're able to show people interfaces and technology can be used for other applications outside of video games."
Since the Nintendo Wii hit store shelves in late 2006, bringing gaming to new audiences has apparently been Nintendo's unofficial mission statement. Twenty-five million people, many of them not traditional gamers, have jumped on the Wii bandwagon. Unfortunately, many of new "casual" gamers haven't bought a lot of new games for their consoles, opting to stick with the simple athletic themes of Wii Sports. Nintendo hopes Wii Fit will convince them to pony up for another workout-themed game. Need proof? Since Wii Fit launched in Japan and, more recently, the UK, it has sold about 3 million copies worldwide."

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
