Wii Fit has sold around 17 000 000 units

PS3 has sold aroun 22 000 000 units

Wii Fit sells around 1 000 000 units per month

PS3 sells around 300 000 units per month.

Is there any explanation and what will happen ? Could this mark the end of the gaming industry as we know it ?

Wii Fit is the reason games like Killzone 2, Bioshock, and Gears of War don't exist. Oh wait.

I'll say yes but then again if the rate keeps strong it'll pass 360 sales as well.

That's really impresive, although we must consider the giant difference among Wii consoles already sold (about 48 million) when compared to PS3s sold (about 22 million). Unless the long-living console plan works well for the PS3, there will be more Wii Fits sold than PS3s.

The Wii has a higher install base and Wii Fit isnt $400. Nice comparison though, I can see how $70 is comparable to $400.

I don;t understand what's incorrect about that statement. It's true isn't it? People seem willing to pay $90 for a product over $400.

We're not in danger of that, so long as there's still demand for 'hardcore' games, and WiiFit has little to no effect on the 'hardcore' market.

Actually, you're right. Although I didnt say he was incorrect, my sarcasm was uncalled for considering it was completely on topic. I retract. All apologies, NinjaOmega. :(

It (along with others of its kind) is potentially the reason companies like SCEA aren't profiting from those games.

Why?

They appeal to people that buy video games. Those people prefer games such as Wii Fit to the competition. Those people do not buy the competition's games, the competition does not profit.

Anyone buying Wii Fit over Gears of War probably werent going to buy Gears anyway... :| ...not to mention those games you mentioned have all sold well anyway.

It's a little flimsy, but if those games didn't exist, less people would buy Wii's and more people would potentially be buying other systems.

Why would they have a choice? They already bought a Wii, because they thought it would be fun. Regardless of whether or not they love it or hate it and how old they are, now they can't possibly buy Gears of War, whether they want to or not.

And Killzone 2 has not been profitable to my knowledge.

Yes. And it's not harming the industry, it's just good buisness. Nintendo made a rival product that people simply want more. If sony wants to sell PS3s at that rate, they should better understand consumers next time.

If anything you should compare software to software.

That's what makes this statistic so odd. Normally, any console software title would have no chance to match the sales of an entire platform.

i know several people who own wiifit that are not fat and in their youth were fit, then life kicked in and gym time was no longer there. they got wii fit not to be athletes again but just to stay fit, or proactively not fat. but it could just be the people i know from my youth and the rest of the owners of wii fit are 400 pounds over weight, but some how i doubt it

I hate the elitist attitude that most gamers have. it's like they think that since they like one kind of game, then other people cant like other types of games.
