I'm sorry but games like Wii Sports/Fit are far from being "trashy and horrible". They might not appeal to you but that doesn't mean they aren't good or any fun. There are people out there that enjoy these types of games and as long as they do, they will continue to buy them. I admit, Wii Play isn't great and it's mainly selling so well because of the bundled Wiimote but it's not completely terrible. I personally don't have Wii Fit but I can see why it is appealing to so many people and i'm sure many people are awaiting Wii Fit Plus. Wii Sports on the otherhand is a fantastic game and I honestly can't wait to pick up Wii Sports Resort.
I ran out of Wii titles so i just chose wii sports. But wii fit does look trashy. Wii Sports is a good gameMrGamer117
Unless you've played it before, that's merely just your opinion. It may not appeal to you but there are plenty of people that do like it. The "Wii" title games are going to continue selling well because they appeal to a larger audience.
id imagine many of them dont think those gamesare crappy or they wouldnt have bought them.
others are just uninformed and go by brand name (sticking "wii" in the title helps). have you ever walked into a cigar shop without knowing anything about what makes a good cigar? its pretty daunting.
wii sports came bundled with the console. of course it sold. it was a nice pack in for the console too as it worked as somewhat of a tech demo. the rest. I dunno. Wii Fit is incredibly stupid. I don't know why people bought it but they did. Wii Play had a wiimote and a game for like 10 bucks. That's why that one sold.
Same reason people buy so called good games. The trashy games are good games to them. My question is "Why do people like you make threads like thisto start flamewars"? And "Why do people instantly consider a game bad without even playing it"?
Not forgetting EA Sports Active which in its first week sold more than Madworld overall.Junior_AIN
Oh, you mean the EA Active which scored AA? You've obviously never played it, because it's not trash, I'll give you another attempt if you'd like to salvage the foot in your mouth?

Its a bathroom scale that tells people their fat. Its not a game. Its a waste of money and to add insult to injury some other games want me to have to damned thing. I refuse. I will not spend a cent on that piece of garbage.
Sadly, you're not bringing up a good arguement here in regards to Wii owners buying bad games. All three games you've mention all have really good reasons for being as successful as they are. Wii Sports comes with the system outside of Japan, Wii Play (Wii Remote included) is a really good value for the price of an average game, and Wii Fit's a quality title that offers a new experience and a unique accessory in the Balance Board. In all honestly, I've played 2 of the 3 games, and I didn't find either Wii Sports (which I'll still play from time to time) or Wii Play "crappy."
"I just ran out of titles to trash, so I just started throwing out names" That makes your argument null and void. I mean you could have thrown out Wii Music which was a bad game, but it also sold poorly so I guess that would work against you. And people buy Wii Play for the controller not the game.
Now... a crappy Wii game would be a game that has broken controls or just plain doesn't work because it's glitchy and buggy. But I'm going to assume those don't sell very well. Games like Wii Sports and Wii Fit aren't really crappy (it doesn't matter if you like the premise of it or not, because simply thats just an opinion obviously) because there really isn't anything wrong with those games that makes them unplayable.
I haven't played Wii Play, but I just know it's bundled with the Wiimote and generally... if you're going to own a console that's good for parties, you're going to want more than one controller right?

I don't know. The game could still have a good story, good characters, good voice-acting, good visuals, good sfx and music, and lots of other stuff even if the gameplay is broken. Escape from Bug Island is considered by many to be a bad game, but is it worse than some of the other crap out there? Probably not - most people were frustrated with the primitive controls in the game, otherwise there weren't that many complaints aside from personal opinion.
sadly every system has bad games and people have different opinions and likes and because of that bad games will sell they have been since atari days and they will still be around at the end of video games
It sounds like the topic creator is one of those who thinks every game should be an FPS or a Gears of War or a GTA game, anything else is hated for not being what they demand. Wii Sports isn't bad, haven't played Wii Fit and Wii Play, though I know someone who has Wii Play. Maybe I should try it one day and see what I think to it.
Sometimes it's the 'bad games' that can at times be really fun. Not every game, no, but there are games, that people hate on automatically for not being what they demand, that are a great deal of fun. It's just a case of trying the game out, giving yourself the time to really play the game.

Because they're either slaves to review scores, incapable of thinking for themselves in other ways, bitter that games cost so much each that they wish to use the "sour grapes" justification for not getting it, or feeding confirmation bias to put down a console they don't own.
Kidding. Nobody buys a game knowing it's trash or thinking that it's trash. They're either misinformed OR, like others have said, they actually like those games. In all honesty, I just played a bunch of DS demos from the Nintendo Channel this afternoon, including a Megaman demo, and MySims Racing was by far my favorite. I'd never buy it myself, but I wouldn't really ridicule anyone who did. That's probably one of those games you'd consider trash, I'm guessing.

Why is Wii Fit stupid? I can not name one good thing thats come from it. It spawned that balance board, a useless peripheral that people keep trying to incorporate into games to lessen their control a la Punch Out.

I don't like the game, its forced a useless peripheral on us that I don't want to deal with, and in addition to that I don't even see it as really being much of a game in the first place. From how I see the game its borderline false advertisement. I'm not saying everyone who plays it is dumb, just that I personally can not stand the game. I'm sure you have a game that you don't like. Not liking a game doesn't make it childish, it makes me someone with an opinion. And no I'm 17.

And no I'm 17.You can, for example, say,"I think Wii Fit is a waste of money as it does not suit my needs for recreation and overall fitness." Instead of the infantile rant of Wii Fit being USELESS and STUPID, which it is neither, based on the fact Wii Fit was fairly received by critics and has improved some peoples lives for the better due to it's purpose as a fitness program.
Yeah, it's not a game. Everybody pretty much knows that. It's not called Wii Fit Games you know.
Opinions are great, but it's not the fact that yours is different I have a problem with, it's how you present it. Put a little more though in your posts, that's all.
I bought The Conduit regardless of the good/bad reviews. I bought it because I thought it had potential of improving the natural Wii controls of FPS gaming (which it did very successfully), and because it had online-multiplayer.
I am very happy with my purchase, even though reviewers treated it "crappy". In my opinion, The Conduit is not a a "crappy" game, but rather a great game!
Now... a crappy Wii game would be a game that has broken controls or just plain doesn't work because it's glitchy and buggy. But I'm going to assume those don't sell very well.

well yeah, some games can have great premises, stories, and what not that would make them a good game (Turning Point: Fall of Liberty comes to mind with it's interesting story and what not) but the game can be FULL of glitches and bugs and have very bad or broken controls to the point where its unplayable (as I said before) and thats what would make the game bad. There's been a lot of games that had ok storylines such as the Resident Evil series, but they also had great gameplay and (for the cannon games atleast) had great, good working controls.

Wii Fit - Not garbage. I don't like it, but many people love it.

Wii fit isn't trashy and i like it and sure lots of people will get wii fit plus. The same with with wii sports and wii sports resort. But i know what you meen.

Second of all I like the wiimote nunchuck (and now M+) combo. Aside from that I don't want to use any useless peripherals. I don't want a zapper, I definitely don't want a balance board. The only game I want some extra crap for is guitar hero. I hate when people tell me I have to open my mind when I've tried something (not purchased btw) and didn't like it. That's just a cheap response. I tried it. I hated it. There's nothing more to it than that. I wouldn't call myself closed minded as I bought Rune Factory Frontier yesterday, having never played one of those farm sim games before, just because I felt like trying it out. In that case I liked it (well so far anyway). In wiifit's case I didn't. It isn't a game. Its boring and it comes with a peripheral I would never want to have to use, period.

Wii Sports is a lot of fun and Wii Fit actually works I know this because I have lost weight with it. I havent played Wii Play however.
I think we are getting a bit of topic here because I am reading peoples opinions on Wii play, fit and sports. Those are his opinions of poor games. You cant expect him to list a game he likes with the idea that you might not. He is just giving some example if you like them fine if you dont thats fine to but answer the question. I dont think the games are bad ( sports and fit anyway, havent tried play) but that doesnt matter. So why do you think people will buy a game only to find it in their opinion bad ( this happening over and over again to make it popular ) should be the question and here is my opinions. I think it happens because: 1. People see so much advertising when the game comes out, however the advert only shows the games few good points. People buy it. 2. People may get excited just about buying a game as they are bored so they then buy any game. 3 People follow a series. They may have gotten so many mario games and they love them but a new one comes out and they instantaneously by it. ( mario is good I just needed an example.) :)
I ran out of Wii titles so i just chose wii sports. But wii fit does look trashy. Wii Sports is a good gameMrGamer117
You just contridicted yourself. You ask why they buy "crappy" games then list Wii sports.. Then say it was a good game. If you run out of these "crappy" games after only 2 you are not making a very good point. There is however a boat load of horrible games which have sold well on the Wii. The Wii is king of the shovel ware. You have to remember this console is playedby a lot of children with the parents buying the games for them. Parents who are uninformed on the quality of the game.

considering ninja breadman was on the ps2 aswell, and so where most wii shovelware titles, it makes no sense to bash the wii without bashing the ps2 aswell, except if your a cow, then it makes sense

How do we define "sold well"? And where are the sales figures to show that these "horrible" games sold well?
And one thing: should really we care about the so-called "shovelware" titles? Can we just ignore them and buy the games that we enjoy? I personally do not lose sleep nor get paranoid over shovelware titles on the Wii.
