so ahmmm *looking at the graph*... which one's which?

The blue line is Wii Fit.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV (360+PS3) would outsell SSBB. I was wrong.

I will add a legend next time and improve the presentation.

Fastest TI MASTER in Europe : rank Master V in 5min10
Current PB on Power Ranger (Game Gear) : 10min06 (World Record)

LET'S FACE THIS FACT : The Switch is the last physical video game system of the history who has a chance to beat PS2's sales.

Chart is updated.

The Ring Fit doesn't give up but the challenge will be tough for him...

In 1 month from now the sales of the Wii Fit will start to seriously calm down, the Ring Fit still has a chance to catch up.

I didn't expect Ring Fit to be this successful, looking foward to WW numbers from Nintendo.

Updated.

Now starts the interesting part, from next week the sales of the Wii fit will start to seriously slow down:

37859 next week, (which is less than the last week of the Ring fit), while the Ring Fit still have some shortages to solve and is likely to accelerate.

The audience for Wii Fit moved on long ago, but it's still impressive that Ring Fit is still selling. I wonder if it'll ever reach the million.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Huh? RFA crossed 600k this past week and it's bound to sell 20k+ per week for most of 2020. 1m lifetime is absolutely guaranteed and even 2m isn't much of a stretch.

On the 16th week, the Ring Fit fails his occasion to make a first come back by not so much. It seems the shortages in Asia are not yet solved at all, judging by the news.
Wii Fit : 37.859
Ring Fit : 30.111
