And it was GTA IV that was supposed to kill the Wii.

The sales still suck btw.

So 1BN out of 280 = fewer than half a percent of the world market for exercise equipment.

 

That's a spurious comparison because you are lumping in footware, apperal, and bicycles.

Plus, general sport equipment is a broad category.

It would be interesting to see how the WiiFit sales comared to those of JUST EXERCISE equipment, however.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Yeah, would be interesting. I kinda think of Wii Fit as less game and more exercise equipment. Like an RPG with guns ala Mass Effect or something like that.

 



Tease.
