GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Thursday, Apr 17, 2008

If you are like me I love to watch and read what is going on in the video game industry and since the launch of the Wii with its pack in game Wii Sports many including myself could see this idea being expanded. How it would be expanded was the question and with Wii Fit we see one of the expansions with more to come I'm sure.

As most of you know the idea behind Wii Fit is to help make you more Fit wheather its your balance or your cardio or your strength its purpose is to help you improve yourself. Oh yeah I almost forgot something very important about Wii Fit and that is Nintendo wants to make getting more fit fun ! Lets face it to some including myself getting fit can be work and somewhat boring.

Will Nintendo achive its goal in making fitness fun ? I think after reading some hands on with Wii Fit Nintendo may have done what it set out to do. Not only does it sound fun but according to Matt Casamassina over at IGN " Whether you want to refer to it as a game or an exercise program, you will eventually have to concede, as I have, that it's the real deal. It'll give you a work out. You will sweat. Your heart will move. And you might just wake up sore the next day."

I know there alot of people that love Guitar Hero 3 for Wii and Mom's and Dad's don't mind the non violent music game as long as it does'nt get too loud. I think Wii Fit has a chance to be even more popular because not only will it appeal to all those that like Wii sports but it has the potintial to appeal to those who are more serious about getting fit too. I also think that most parents want to see thier childer get up off the couch and Wii Fit will do that. It could be one of those items that you buy for the Kids but in the back of your mind you are the one who really wants to try it out. Considering all the possible reasons to buy Wii Fit I think it may out sell Guitar Hero 3 for Wii ! What do you think ?

Wii Fit may have a chance, but GH is multi-platform game, which gives it more of an advantage.

Yeah I was just talking about Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii. Since that is not clear I should edit it. Thanks Hershey

Personally, I don't care to play either. *shrug*

I can see how Wii Fit is going to do well, but GH is just so universal. Everyone wants to be a rock star and almost everyone likes the music on that game. Whereas, Fit is a little more narrow in the gamers they are trying to market too. No doubt it will be a big hit though, but I don't see it doing better than GH.

It will be interesting to see if it does out sell GH3 on the Wii. I will try to get numbers and post in the future. I think it will outsell GH3 on the Wii.

Keep in mind I am counting all regions and only GH3 on the Wii not total sales of GH3 across all systems.

honestly i play games to relax and go to the gym to work out so wii fit might not be for me because i like the social element of lifting with my friends.
