Unafraid to incite elitist gamer geek unrest, respected video game industry analyst Michael Pachter has supported a prediction by GigaOM that Wii Fit will outsell Grand Theft Auto IV this year. Yeah, you read right: the latest entry into what is arguably the biggest hardcore video game franchise around is gonna get whooped by an exercise tool -- we're not shocked, we're just laughing. GTA4 was dominating at first, but with time interest has waned while Wii Fit and its included Balance Board peripheral have stayed hot despite supply shortages. Nintendo's hardware-focused strategy seems to be working; the Balance Board install base is approaching 12 million, or roughly 30% of all Wii owners. You can bet it'll be put to good use in future games and other, less mainstream applications even after folks have given up on losing weight and resigned themselves once more to lifelong loneliness.Endgadget

I'm happy to say that I was able to get my hands on Wii Fit recently. It's actually pretty cool and helps in exercising. :)

The Wii was mentioned in Revelation, I believe. Wii Fit was near the end of Revelation.

Well, I'm just curious as to what you constitute as a game. But definitely, good night to you if you're tired. Maybe we can talk about this some other time.

And over 50% of those never used the thing ever agian. insanejedi

Don't over 50% of those who buy other games never play it again as well? What's the difference here?

Stating IMO isn't enough. Did you even play the game? there are leaderboards, challenges, replay value AND fun. It's a great game IMO and deserves to outsell GTA4

It definitely is, but Wii Fit does keep track of your weight and offers a bit more than just aerobics. There is Yoga, Strength Training, and balance games. I have to admit that I feel a lot better because of the way the game is correcting my center of balance. Every time I walk now I am more conscious of it and my body actually feels better. I know I am feeling stronger nowadays and I don't think "Sweatin' to the Oldies" would have provided that for me.

well lol I'm not going to sleep yet (will be around 30 more) but I am really tired

But don't get me wrong, I love games like SMG and hate Wiifit and Wiimusic type of games

I just want the old ninty back (making classics after classics and moving the industry forward)

But we'll discuss the reasons why I don't consider wiifit a game another day :P

I got my wife Wiifit for Christmas and have yet to play it. But the idea of playing Rayman, Tetris and Skate it with the board makes me happy we are got the game. Even if I have to wait.

But O'well the new DDR comes out today so I will have that to play with until then.

are you serious?

isn't like 60% of X360 owners own XBL?

and since GTA is not even in the third place, i would say atound 35% are playing it ,of course this iassuming that rankings you posted update daily or weekly.Thank you for proving my point.

And where the hell did you get the Wii statistics anyway?

Tell me where you got 60%, tell me where you got 35%.

At least I have a statistic.

Even if 60% of 360 owners only have live you also did not include the possibility that people not on live could still be playing GTA 4.

All your assumtions have zero basis, zero facts, zero references, therefore your rebuttal is weaker than graphite.

Regardless, for all games, eventually 50% never use the thing ever again. I don't see how that should go against Wii Fit.

It's called logical assumptions. I've read somewhere (i think TGS) that around 60% of 360 owners own XBL.

PS. you have yet to give me cold hard numbers, just old, outdated and useless statistics and a leaderboard with no indication. you are just as baseless as i am... hell at least i'm making logical assumptions :|

ok ok listen to settle the score let's start over again, bring up the charts for GTA4's sales, the amount of XBL owners and the numbers to the leaderboard you posted. That is definitely a start.

I really wish Hardcore games were the meat of the market like they used to be, the casual market is going to suffocate the Hardcore market if these casual games that cost less to make and make a better profit margin continue to take down the heavy hitters of the industry.

Casual is the way of the future...dear lord. Makes you wonder why something with a awesome story isn't outselling these but I guess even the best writen books are overshadowed by Oprahs book of the month club.

50 mini game compilation outsells fairly overrated sand box game. Who cares. GTA4 sucked anyway. But I guess this is kinda sad that something that nintendo just rushed together in 10 minutes is outselling a game that took years to make and cost millions.

I guess it can't be helped, there will always be easy to please casuals that will buy any old trash.

I would say something about sheep playing sales. But recently lems and cows have been playing sales, so Idgaf Wii is a sales beast, and just like Sony's future. Gaming on the Wii looks to have a bright future.

I'm happy to say that I was able to get my hands on Wii Fit recently. It's actually pretty cool and helps in exercising. :)

After the pathetic thread celebrating the awesome power of wii music a few days ago, I thought nintendo fanboys had reached an unbreachable low, but apparently not. :roll:

Was there ever a point where you actually enjoyed video games? Or was it always simply a case of slavish devotion to Nintendo that made you post on this forum.

True gamers got bored of being kicked in the teeth by Nintendo a long time ago, perhaps you need to find a new site to post on.

I said I enjoyed Wii Fit. How am I not enjoying video games? Does that mean I have to like the same games as you in order to be able to enjoy them? This has nothing to do with slavish devotion to Nintendo.

and I thought running 5 miles every other day and lifting was doing me good:P

Screw my workout plan I getting a wii and a wii fit to prepare for High school track this year ;)

Running 5 miles a day and lifting is going to do you good. Wii Fit is for those who are really not in high school anymore and do not has as much time as they used to. I'm juggling 40 hours at a full time job and also taking several ****s at a community college. I wish I had time to go and do 5 miles a day like you, but I just can't. So I do 30 minutes every day on Wii Fit which is the best I can do with the limited amount of time I have. Of course, I'm planning on supplementing what I do on Wii Fit by starting to go back to the gym. No one is trying to say that Wii Fit is a substitute for all exercise. Just doing extra work outside of it like taking long walks will do wonders for a person. This isn't about what exercise is better than the other, but it's a way for people who need exercise to have a chance to do it at home :)

50 mini game compilation outsells fairly overrated sand box game. Who cares. GTA4 sucked anyway. But I guess this is kinda sad that something that nintendo just rushed together in 10 minutes is outselling a game that took years to make and cost millions.

I guess it can't be helped, there will always be easy to please casuals that will buy any old trash.

I doubt Wii Fit took 10 minutes to make. There was a lot of research to make so that people don't accidentally hurt themselves as well as which exercises would be the best for people. Imagine QA'ing for this game. I bet many of those testers lost a lot of weight :)

I got my wife Wiifit for Christmas and have yet to play it. But the idea of playing Rayman, Tetris and Skate it with the board makes me happy we are got the game. Even if I have to wait.

But O'well the new DDR comes out today so I will have that to play with until then.

Wii Fit is fun for casuals, but I'll take GTAIV anyday.

I have been playing games like Wiifit for the last 15 years with playing DDR. If I am a casual "So be it".
