Wii Fit to Surpass PS3


"Wii Fit is for casuals! Hardcore gamez rul!!!"


Nintendo recently released its sales figures, and man oh man, who would have expected this in 2006? A mere peripheral overtaking the anticipated gaming Goliath? Incredible.

22 million balance boards are in the wild, which is just 1.08m behind PS3. And PS3 has more than a year head start. With the release of Wii Fit Plus this holiday, look for the balance board to surpass Sony's big black failure.

For as much as you all hype yet another by-the-book FPS (killzone 2) or another 3rd person adventure game chock full of cutscenes, what you see above is all it takes to bring them down. Quirky, refreshing gameplay in an age of stagnation.

  1. Oh shit! the ps3 just announced a price cut and is currently number 1 in sales on amazon.com. Don't worry, i'm sure you can find some way to spin all this into anti ps3/pro wii news.
