GI.net: "I've been pretty excited about Wii Fit for a while now. I've been tracking the press releases and learning what I can. I was thrilled to find out it was going to be released in the U.S. market just prior to my birthday last year. Happily, my husband figured out the perfect gift (no, I wasn't subtle - I told him "get me this"). As of this writing, I'm now well over 100 days into my relationship with Wii Fit.
I had a little frustration getting started, so I want to start by telling you how to avoid this and save some angst. I was not able to successfully synchronize the Wii Fit Balance Board to my Wii until I had the game installed and running. The thing won't even stay on if you aren't in that mode. Once I figured this out, all was well. Yes, I could have read the instructions, but it was new and fun and shiny, and I wanted to jump right in.
There are folks that like to exercise. I know - that sounds so strange to me. My mother, for one, is an avid purveyor of fitness. I've never understood the attraction."
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
