Forums - Nintendo - WiiFit Outsells...

I remember when some on this site thought that WiiFit was going to flop.  One person even thought that it would 'flop, badly'.

WiiFit hasn't done too bad concidering some of these low expectations. /sarcasem

At the rate it is selling I thought it would be fun to see how long it should take it to outsell other games (and a system).  So I have compiled the latest data from VGChartz.  Here is what I came up with.

Raw data:

As you can see you can see, at current trends, both Mario Kart DS and More Brain Training should fall by the end of the month.  Even Nintendogs could fall within half a year.

 

I can update these totals each week if you guys find this interesting.

If you want to keep this updated, it would be interesting to watch. I personally don't see it passing the PS3, but if it got close...

Yeah, that ranks right up there with GTAIV will kill the Wii.



Around the Network

YES! This is exactly the kind of thread I wanted!

Wii Fits selling power interests me, even if the game itself doesn't...
Please keep it updated, at least once a month would be good.

Locked.

/sigh

Read the forum rules, thread titles need to be descriptive. You can't use ellipses as a deceptive hook. Good work on the tables but I still have to lock it.

Recreate the topic with a good title please and read the forum rules for more details.



To Each Man, Responsibility

I thought Wii Fit would sell well but I never ever in my wildest dreams even considered that it (or anything) would outsell Nintendogs,

That's not a game, that's a phenomena.
