Is there any evidence that WiiFit does in fact work as a fitness program? I know that America is in a constant fitness craze, but god damn.

True, but it keeps selling. Given the word of mouth power of everything that has to do with this system, you'd think there would be some kind of slump.

Halo 3 is making a come back.

The highest profile game available for a now reasonably priced system, it should stick around for a while.

well, it was heavily featured on several housewife-oriented talk-shows for a long while, and i guess the continuing rationale is something along the lines of "this time i'm REALLY gonna get in shape!  it'll be like playing a game, AND it's cheaper than a gym membership!"

it's the new thighmaster

Yup.  That's what my sister's is doing.  At first I refused to get one for her for Christmas.  "It's crappy and won't work."  "I don't care, I WAAAANT it!" "Ugh, stfu whatever."

Flash forward 3 months, and she admits to using it less than 5 times.  "It doesn't work right" is her excuse.  No, it's crap like I told you.  Ugh.

Wii Fit Officially Topples Halo 3 in Sales
By Brian Crecente, 3:00 PM on Fri Mar 20 2009, 7,628 views

Yesterday's news that Wii Fit continued to ride high on the U.S. video game sales chart last month told only half the story.

I just confirmed with the NPD Group that the fitness title's lifetime sales has topped Halo 3's. As of the end of February Wii Fit has sold 6 million copies in the U.S. while Xbox 360 goliath has moved 5.9 million copies in its life time.

Keep in mind that the $90 Wii Fit launched in the U.S. on May 21 of last year, while Halo 3 hit the Xbox 360 on Sept. 25 of 2007.

With 6 million balance boards out there and a legion of Wii owners, there's got to be an incoming wave of games developed for the new peripheral.

I think chubster games will be come a big genre in the next few years.  Not just on Wii, but on EVERYTHING.  Consoles, iPhone, whatever.  Wiifit showed that this shit works for whatever reason and now every major publisher probably has at least one knock-off in the pipeline.

Seriously, this is the new GTA.  All of you guys hated the last one's vastly improved gameplay mechanics and now you're responsible for real games' sales being replaced by a bunch stretching exercises.  It's a fucking shame.
