Me. Wii Fit sells 20M. But do you really need an $80 game and balance board to PRETEND to Hula Hoop? Look, I'm playing Wii Fit right now without even owning the game

/proceeds to pretend hula hoop

i was gonna slam you here but the other guy did it for me with the cod thing

but yeh wii fit to me was more valuable than any game i bought this gen, as i actually have lost 30 pounds, and now am almost not overwieght anymore.  maybe i coulda done it other ways, but to me its a more lasting experience than resistance or fallout 3.

say what you want and get as mad as you want, wii fit will demolish any game you like in sales, sorry bro.

more women buy it than killzone 2, so i can see why you're so mad :P

Wii Fit better than every game selling less than 20M confirmed.

You think it has value and helped you lose 30 lbs? How about you get some discipline and do a couple jumping jacks and some push ups instead of giving the game all the credit...and your money. There's no comparison of sitting down and playing CoD, with the intent of it being a "video game" to playing Wii Fit, with the intent to "excercise", when you don't need Wii fit in order to do that. If I want to play a video game, I play a video game. If I want to excercise, I go to the gym.

And I'm not upset women buy that game. Not what so ever (even though I do get upset when statistics show that the Wii demographic is made up of women and children all you guys get angry). I don't, and barely anyone does, expect women to buy a game like Killzone 2, or Halo 3, or Gears, or Metal Gear. I guess I should be upset, by your logic, that women play different games than me?

Sorta like I don't need to spend $60 on a game like CoD to PRETEND I'm shooting people (with my thumbs).  Look, I'm playing CoD right now without even owning the game.

/proceeds to pretend to shoot people

At least CoD doesn't make you believe you're doing anything besides playing a video game....

Wii Fit makes you think you're "excercising"...when every drill in that game....can be done without the game

im the biggest call of duty fan on here, and i will also DESTROY you at the game any time you like.

but if you said i had to never play either wii fit or cod again, id toss cod aside.

I dont. I only wish it to be used where appropriate but NOT used when not appropriate (or at the very least that the traditional controller can be used in place of motion control when motion control makes no sense). I also wish motion controls be accurate, that means flicking your wrist most of the time will not work.

I have an idea you can stay in the stone age, while the rest of us move on to the bronze age.




I wonder if reactions like the OP are the unintended consequence of the corporate reactions/decisions of Microsoft and Sony.

In other words, not everyone has -- or will -- suddenly embrace the new standard. And since many of those who did not want motion control went to the Xbox 360 or PS3, they might feel quite betrayed by this latest development, even though it will probably never be as pervasive as some predict or fear.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

i dont have a gym membership, and to be honest i feel self conscious going to one.

wasting my money also?  bro i make well over 100 k a year and its not about the money.

maybe you need to realise that some people like other games with you, or other uses for their systems than simply spending hours shooting guys over and over again on the same couple maps.

quit trolling a game that is pretty damn succesful and realise that some peoples tastes and YOUR tastes are not always one and the same.

maybe you need to do some yoga on wii fit?

I don't like to motion controllers. I'm glad they are optional to use. And they better stay that way, or i'm done with video games.

so all you guys are fine with being beta testers for the industry.

Rise up and show you're not going to take this anymore!  Big bad industry experimenting on you and all...

You should be more upset by your logic than anythhing else.

Many bitter tears in this thread... And for all of you who say you don't care as long as you can use regualr controls as well: prepare to get a new hobby. Motion controllers are slaughtering the traditional controllers and by the beginning of next generation, there will be barely a thing left.
Those that say they don't like motion controllers because they are inaccurate: with the Wii Motion Plus and even the Sony and Microsoft clones(that represent the final nails on the coffin of the Old World) motion controls have reached the ''good enough''-point, with 1:1 accuracy. If you want more than that, you're out of luck, because there isn't anything better.
