Congratulations on Wii for selling well over 23 million consoles worlwide. I have checked number of sources and VGChartz is very close to the mark. Nintendo Wii almost a 12 million lead over its main rival Sony with its PS3.

The Wii is a brilliant system with its motion control and has lots of games available besides the Mario and Zelda games that are expected on every Nintendo console.

So is it true the Nintendo Wii can help you stay fit and lose weight due to the regular exercise when playing the Wii? Have you played Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii? It can come bundled with two Guitars great to play with friends that game. I am surprised by the large amount of quality games that are on the Wii. It would be a good second or third console for any PS3 and or 360 user. As for the PS3 and 360 they are both great systems to buy because the PS3 has exclusives and for the 360 has great games on it. Upgrading a PC once a year in so darn expensive. Console is a lot cheaper than a gaming PC in the long run can last you many years well after it sells mainstream on the market.

Comments here please

"It would be a good second or third console for any PS3 and or 360 user."

i actualy have it reversed....my wii gets almost 3 times as much play as the 360

Ok we are all different. the continuous movement using the Wii controller would tire people out when playing it for hours on end. The controller based consoles you can sit down and relax in a chair and not spend heaps of energy.

I never get tired playing the Wii, but I do feel like I need to stand up all the time. It just gets me more into the game in my opinion, but not tired. I am not a PS3 or 360 owner, but I can see why the Wii would be a great 2nd console to those who love their PS360's. It is different, so different and unique to itself.

This is why Wii Fit is going to have monster sales. All of the reasons you brought up. Wii Fit is actually going to make the Wii even more in demand, mark my words.

"i actualy have it reversed....my wii gets almost 3 times as much play as the 360"

Same here. My PS3 is an awesome 2nd system to the Wii...

Not every Wii-game requires excessive movement. We have enough games which can be played by sitting relaxed in a chair. (Fire Emblem, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, and so on)

large amount? 

im rather surprised of the amount of crap games that get produced for the system.

^I can play almost every game while I sit in my chair, and I'm gonna try it with Wiifit :P

But nice article about the Wii. It's true, PS360 gamers should really allow themselves to play on the Wii as well, it has such good games!

You're surprised about this amount of shoveware? I think the PS2 had at least as much shovelware as the Wii in the beginning, and look how that turned out. And don't make me bring up the DS...

 The only game I ever stand up to play is the Wii Sports bowling game. Smash, Zelda, Mario, Madden, Fire Emblem, RE4, RE: Umbrella Chronicles, Guitar Hero III, etc. I play sitting or laying back.

I look forward to getting a 360 or PS3 one day as my second or third consoles.
