I like palpatine being in the picture

I'm living in the freakin twilight zone aren't I. And I still wanna know who buy's Wii fit , I Know 15 gamers,10 of them have Wii's and none of them have even expressed a slight intrest in the thing, and two of them are workout freaks.

Well, at least it's not Wii Music. o:

Hey! You're not Jim Sterling! Also, people love crap, whether it's halo, wiianything, or killzone2. Waitaminnit...

Kind of surreal.

Halo 3 is one of the most complete "core" experiences ever (Solo, Local Multiplayer, Online Multiplayer, Co-Op, DLC, various replay modes AND a level editor)

Wii Fit includes a peripheral and weighs in at $90.

Didn't see this one coming

but will it curb the trend of fat kids? only time will tell.

I digs teh haloez, and I admit that I sold my wii, but in all honesty, Nintendo has achieved what they sought out to do- get non-gamers to buy their product. It's a shaky step, but with games like Madworld being released (albeit not at the rate I'd like it to), I'm hoping the whole casual/core thing will strike some balance sooner than later.

Another thing to put into perspective: what are the ratios of game/console? Are there more people who own 360s that also own Halo 3 compared to wii owners that also own wii fit?

How dare mortals help the devil's device surpass the most amazing thing ever.

Yes, soccer moms and chubby kids all across America are playing Wii Fit. For a week. Way to go Nintendo!

Sigh. Heaven forbid people could go for a run outside to get fit, instead of ruining out laziness. DAMN YOU NINTENDO FOR KILLING GAMERS!

Remember this

@Conrad

Nintendo makes the same whether you play it for 30 secs or 6 months, so how is that relevant?

But Killzone 2 is obviously better than Halo 3, so it's obvious that something like WiiFit would easily outsell it!

This is the most sarcastic article I have ever read.
Good job Jon.
And go Nintendo.

And so it begins...

I'm at a loss for words. Really, WiiFit?

...

WiiFit??

TYPO! I'm sorry, I meant to say that it is not relevant whatsoever.

Both games rot the brain, but at least one of them burns calories.

am I the only one who noticed that hell has frozen over

Good, I'm glad Wii Fit outsold Halo 3. It proves that there are more Americans out there that are concerned with their health than there are Americans concerned with virtually tea bagging strangers while laughing incessantly about it.

You have too give Nintendo credit. After all, they took what is essentially a brilliant idea, executed it as poorly as they possibly could have, and still managed to outsell a game that is held widely by hardcore gamers to be the holy grail of video games. I don't know if H3 is really as good as people say it is. It has never made its way into my 360. However, I have played Wii Fit at my in laws' house and I would probably buy it before I'd buy Halo. It is the mindless, no skill needed, pick up and play strategy that has made the Wii as successful as it is, and for good reason.

There are a lot more people in this country that would have no idea how to move their camera and shoot at the same time. These people would never even try to play Halo or any other FPS for that matter. But (and here is the core brilliance of the Wii) anybody can wiggle a wiimote and act like its a tennis racket. The people who have no interest in playing skill required games eat this shit up because to them, it is fun. The same kind of fun you have when you pull off a ridiculous head shot on your best friend and then ball dip the sorry son of a bitch.

Ultimately you have to ask yourself one question... Do I really give a shit? Do I give a shit if Nintendo does well selling games like Wii Fit or Wii Sports? If you do then you are really wasting your time. They aren't going to stop and it isn't going to make the slightest difference in the production of future Halo games.

So you can either ignore it and let the common man have their fun, or you can bitch and cry about it like a winy fanboy. Either way it won't stop, and, in my opinion, it is blogs like this that diminish the credibility of a professional writer.

Makes sense. Wii Fit appeals to a much broader demographic than Halo 3. Love them or hate them, Nintendo has succeeded in its goal of getting new people interested in games.

I'm not a Wii Fit fan, but there's plenty on the Wii to keep me happy. Right now it's MadWorld.

@ C4Vicious- Are you being sarcastic?

That's a hint, by the way.

@ Everyone else- THIS JUST IN! Early reports state that Halo 4 will use the new Microsoft Eye-Balance-Toy-Board (EyeBaToBo for short), and will require you to do all your virtual teabaging via full body motion controls.

Wii Fit has ruined gaming permanently!

Forever!

I don't see why anyone cares, WiiFit is not a game. Hell, it barely qualitfies as computer software.

I agree with C4 this was written by and would only bother people who use vgchartz to find some meaning to their lives.

Makes sense- it appeals to a broader audience than Halo 3, as has already been said. Whether or not these people play it for more than a week is irrelevant- Nintendo already has their money. Besides, how many big-name titles do we plow through and dispose of like a used condom? I have friends who stopped playing Grand Theft Auto 4 after about two weeks because they had beaten all the missions.

And before we get into this "Nintendo doesn't care about us anymore" shtick again... what about Mario Galaxy? Or Metroid Prime 3? Smash Bros. Brawl? Mario Kart? On top of that, Punch-Out's coming out soon, and there's a new Pikmin along the way. You think half of these people who bought Wii Fit can even spell Pikmin? Seriously, guys.

Everyone needs to relax and go try yoga on Wii Fit, the new hardcore!
