Title: 64% gave up on Wii Fit
Post by: CHOW CHOW on July 04, 2008, 03:16:34 PM
1000 people were polled and here are the results:

Do you use Wii Fit faithfully everyday?
• 22 percent — I record my progress faithfully everyday
• 6 percent — Maybe once every two or three days
• 6 percent — Once a week
• 64 percent — Stopped using after purchase

Well, that's not surprising. I think 22% is high.

Take note that this polling was done in Japan.  If they were to poll the U.S., no less than 85 to 90% would have given up on it after a week.

I'd definitely believe thatif it was true -from what I've read of the game, Americans would actually be somewhat dissapointed by Wii Fit's choice of activities.

that's about the % of Wii users who give up on the Wii after purchase. It only comes out for holiday parties

I'm surprised the number isn't higher.

What a bunch of losers.

I use Wii Fit every day so that makes me less of a loser than the 64%. 8)

I'm not surprised that that many quit using it but the only problem with all wii games in general is that there's too few good ones.
