Forums - Nintendo Discussion - RIP Wiifit :(

The king of sales has fallen at last. I doubt it will climb much further in the rankings of top selling games of all time. I remember fondly when it broke into the top ten best selling games...when it beat Halo 3 in the americas, when it beat GTA IV combined...

 

Goodbye.

(look at my sig for the reason)



 

I blame Wii Fit...+!!!

Around the Network

Just as I predicted over a year ago: Wii Fit = Sales failure



Yup it's just about gone but it's done better than anyone could have anticipated.



 

Soo Wii fit won't outsell the Ps3 now?!

So threads laughing at PS3 claiming it would were wrong after all......ROFL ROFL ROFL!



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Atleast the balance board was selling and yeah, you should include Wii play on that too. It replaced with WSR.



end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

Actually 269K Wii fits were sold this week, its just that the majority (211K were plus versions)



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

This reminds me of when people stopped seeing the original Star Wars when The Empire Strikes Back came out.

It's a shame... really.
