Forums - Nintendo - How long until WiiFit outsells other popular games.

jlauro on 22 December 2008

Wiifit will outsell Wiiplay. It's sales would be a lot higher if it wasn't supply constrained.

It's harder to find then the Wii, and that is still supply constrained in the US.

Mario 64 should be passed next week. After that, it will be a couple of weeks before passing anything else.

 

 Actually these are last weeks numbers.  I alway update the first post with the most current numbers.  WiiFit did pass Mario 64 this week.   And it should pass "More Brain Training" & "GTA Vice City" befor the end of the year.



theRepublic on 22 December 2008

Oops. I was just looking at the last post in the thread.

It looks like More Brain Training and Mario Kart DS could be passed a week earlier than I anticipated.

I love how the 12 week average for More Brain Training is -235k




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

 That is what happens when you try to do these when you are still alittle loopy from being sick.  I corrected the data in the next post.

 What WiiFit has passed since the start of this thread: GTA3 (PS2), Super Mario 64 (N64)



Killergran on 07 January 2009

Vice City PS2 will go down next week.
Pokemon Yellow the week after that.
Then Gran Turismo 3.

Those are some major achievements for a non-game :)

Wii Fit is also the most revenue generating game ever, and that's not an easy achievement.

30 weeks until it passes the PS3! Insane!
We'll see if it manages before the end of 2009. The gap is now 5.3 million, it was 7.4 million 12 weeks ago.

 I expect this number to fall dramaticly by mid Feb as PS3 sales will drop to the 100K-150K range per week after the holidays, but WiiFit will probably stay around 500K per week as it is still supply constrained.  I expect by mid Feb the "weeks to pass" should be around 15.
