@jjseth on WiiFit: You've played football and go to the gym. I think that safely puts you outside of the WiiFit target demographic. This is like people saying someone should play real guitar or live their real life instead of playing Guitar Hero or the Sims: it's not about being an athelete (or a rock star or a socialite), it's about having some fun while getting a little bit of exercise. For a lot of North Americans, 15 minutes a day on WiiFit would be more exercise than normal.

I think we should see WiiFit not as a serious exercise tool or even a video game, it's more like one of those crazy fitness gadgets you see on TV like Soloflex or whatnot. I'm guessing those things do pretty well, otherwise people wouldn't keep making them.

As for this thread, I think it is important for Nintendo fans to try and let go of the past a bit - I don't believe in the old eye for an eye theory of interaction, we don't have to be bitches just because a few rude Sony fans annoyed us years ago.  That said, this is a sales site and silly arbitrary milestones like this are fun to track.
