Its not like lifting weights or running on the tredmill workout. Its more like yoga, and other minigames that get you up and going.

SillyManimal

I'm well aware of what it is. But why do you think this title will sell so many consoles? Sorry but WiiFit is a new IP that won't be anywhere near as big a system seller as quite a few of the other Nintendo games.

It's already getting coverage form mainstream press as the show-stopper non game event of the millenium, and in an increasingly health conscious world this thing is going to explode upon its release.

Calling it a "show-stopper" is an overstatement, nobody is taking Wiifit seriously.

Nobody among the hardcore gaming crowd... which accounts very little for sales these days.

The games shownfor it looked mediocre at best and given how to controls work, I doubt they will get any better.

It failes as an exercise machine or whatever you want to call it, it allows for nothing but a few simple exercises, which won't do much for the average joe.

Obviously you missed the previews for the game, which were glowing and the fact that this game is Miyamoto's brainchild.

It's the kind of stuff the casual consumer will fall for. Most hardcorse wont touch it with a 10 foot clownpole, But like the guy said before you, Casual sales overwhealm the amount of harcores.

I don't want to bash Miyamoto, but mind you, I've watched the previews.

Idk I wouldn't mind owning a 360 even after those come out. Mass Effect, Banjo, Halo Wars. Those can be system sellers for me.

I'm speaking of the sales race this generation.

The Wii is unstoppable as it is... once these games are released its lights out for 360 and PS3 and everybody knows it,

it's just that some refuse to accept it.

[QUOTE="SillyManimal"]Who can take Sheep seriously when they are hyping things like WiiFit!?ZanuffC

Who can take cows seriously when they hype games like Killzone2!?

See what i did there.

A bathroom scale vs a game that is showing to shape up nicely? No I don't see.

WTF are you talking about killzone2 is boring i saw the trailers it all looks like it has been done before in terms of gameplay. No originality what so ever. Oh wow teh bullet tracers they are jsut eyesores. So i do not regret my statement.

What makes you think Wiifit will sell well? That white board is probably going to be expensive.dracula_16
It'll definitely sell, just like every other casual game on the Wii. I'm looking forward to every one of those games (except Wii Fit), but they're not enough to guarantee a win for Nintendo this gen. They need consist releases, which the GC lacked.

haha WiiFit. I highly doubt that game is going to sell many consoles.BumFluff122
believe me it will sell probably more than galaxy, brawl, and mario kart together, no offense but United States is the country with the most fat people in the world, believe me, alot of people will buy wiifit.

D_Znuhtz

it seem sheep dont have a next gen system and they refuse to accept it !

hmm....last time I checked ps2 was the graphically the graphically inferior console and yet it sold the most systems by far and supplied games to the casual crowd, while also delivering some great games through it's lifetime.

Funny, this is sounding a lot like the same formula that is making the Wii a success.

Think about it.

Last time around the graphical gap was extremely slight. God of War 2 looks pretty much on par with Butcher Bay or Res Evil 4. Debate all you want, but there isn't a huge gap between them.

This time around the graphical gap is so enormous that the Wii can't even receive ports of PS3 and 360 games. They need to develop Wii games separately because the technology is so outdated.

There you have it.

I don't think you quite giot the point I was trying to make. Ps2 had a healthy mix of fun titles, great exclusives, and other games that appealed to the casual player while at an affordable price. Nintendo is using this same idea and it seems to be working.

No they will announce new games, and there will probably be a few good third party games coming out for all three consoles.

yes its lights out for great games on the wii, after that its all trash...theyll continue in sales but i could care less about sales. the ps3 adn 360 will continue to get great games for around 5 more years and the wii line up is downhill after those titles, wii is all mini games, rehashes and movie tie ins

I love how its always the same 3 or 4 games (or weight loss devices) used for arguments as to why Wii is going to win. ZanuffC

And all of them games that don't interest a whole lot of players AT ALL (myself included).

If you ever see me hype a kart game, please put me out of my misery.

I don't know about that. I don't know how much of an impact they will have in terms of overall sales. Nintendo is bringing in a whole new type of consumer but they are more interested in games like Wii sports and such. I don't know if there classic games will bring any more than are already coming.

im looking forward to all those games and they are the reasaons i bought the wii. But what is supposed to come after that. I think one argument might be agreeing with you in a way. After all those games then yes IT (the stream of good games) is indeed over. But that would be ok with me.

Lack of DVD? The Wii uses 9.8 gb discs, same as the 360.

You cannot use the PC arguement because most PCs aren't bought for gaming purposes, so until you can find me the figure on how many of those sold are because of the games available for PC then it is irrelvant.

yep, true. wii has allready won the first few years of the console war. Luckaly for me, there is no console war. i'm a gamer, not a fanboy.

(and luckaly i make enough money to buy all three consoles....)
