DailyGame reports:
''For decades, videogames have been lambasted by mothers who blame stationary "thumb aerobics" for turning their children into pudgy, lethargic couch potatoes. Kids who "gamed" were unjustly classified as "non-athletic," while mothers who dared not get caught spying a videogame enjoyed a double standard regardless of their own personal physical fitness.
Turnabout is fair play, thanks to Nintendo's new Wii Fit and Balance Board peripheral. Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto has cleverly designed the electronic dynamic duo to inform those same mothers that they're the ones who are overweight and, ironically, need to play this videogame to get back into shape. Once these moms get into Wii Fit, their kids will wonder whether mom will ever cough up control of the TV again, due to their obsession with the exercise video and glorified weight scale that masquerade as a videogame.''
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
