Gamestop manager: Wii Fit "was successful long before it even released in the US""As a GameStop store manager, I have to agree/disagree with a lot of the content in the recent article about Wii Fit. First...the article focused solely on the American market, but is stated as though this applies to everyone. The article basically says that most Wii Fits sold are collecting dust and no one is getting in shape. Wikipedia says Wii Fit has sold 14 million copies as of December 2008 but maybe only a million in the US. That means only 1 in every 14 bought were by Americans. And we already know the decidedly 'American' trend in regards to physical fitness, with the USA easily being the fattest country. I don't even need to cite a source (which the article never does) in regards to fitness trends in the US because it is widely accepted that there are numerous products that prey on people looking to get in shape with no effort. However...this game was successful long before it even released in the US." |
