Good news for people who want a whole gym with stat-tracking and analyzing software and goal-setting software and basically a virtual personal trainer for only $310, that the whole family can use with no monthly fees anywhere.

Good news for the gaming industry because an assload of non-gamers are going to pick up Galaxy or Wii Sports on their way out the door.

This is just amazing. I can't wait.

 Can I join your "I can't wait" club? Please? The whole gym thing is cool but I want to try the skiing and snowboarding. I haven't been able to go skiing since I broke my leg twenty-five years ago because of the pins in my ankle.



I Blame Wii Fit!

Are you kidding? People were getting flamed for suggesting Wii Fit would get even close to 1M LTD.

Wow. I am absolutely shocked by the WiiFit's success in Japan.

Oh, wait. No I'm not. This is JAPAN - the more gimmicky the better.

 But if I let you join my club the whole VGChartz social web will be destroyed.  I'm supposed to pretend I hate you.

 

Anyway, I'm getting this day one and I plan on turning it into a really unhealthy drinking game.

Can somebody define gimmick for me? I'd like a functional definition that I can consistently use on this web site. Is anything new a gimmick? Is the DS still a gimmick after it trounced the universe? Will this be a gimmick after it outsells everything INCLUDING THE WII?!??!??!?!?111one

That acually sounds like fun. My co-workers would totally be up for that. Drinking and Wii. "So happy together!"
