Wii Fit stretches into UK sales record book
Posted in Screens, Games, Wii by Andrew Macarthy on April 28th, 2008 at 20:50

With reports of Nintendo’s Wii Fit selling an astonishing 90 copies a second in the UK last week, it wouldn’t take a genius to predict that the title has shot to the top of the UK’s all-format charts for the week. That’s not its biggest achievement though, because Wii Fit has become a double achiever in Nintendo’s UK sales terms.

Industry website MCV reports that Wii Fit (which launched in the UK last Friday) was bought by roughly one in ten Wii consoles owners within its first couple of days on sale, raking in the firm an estimated £16.3 million big ones (Great British Pounds). Its sales not only made it the third largest launch in British videogame history in monetary terms (behind only Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Halo 3 for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox 360 respectively, but also became the sixth fastest-selling game in UK history.

Wii Fit was joined in the UK top ten by fellow Wii titles including Mario Kart Wii, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and SEGA Superstars Tennis.

It is actually very enjoyable.

The fitness aspect is a part but what's fun are the games. For example, there's a ski jump game where you have to balance your body for speed, take off and then balance yourself whilst in the air. There are other games as well and I think this could be used to make some interesting games.

I'd recommend people buying it, it's as fun as the very first time I first played the Wii two years ago

Yeah, I'm excited for the skiing and other games using it. My wife is excited for the yoga and bullshit. :wtf:

My wife wants this..

I'll probably just rent it. I really want to play it, but doubt I'd play it regularly. My girlfriend wants to only try it too. She's not a core gamer, but not really a casual gamer.

I'd buy it if I had a few friends who came over regularly, but I live in a complete shit hole and no one wants to come over here. I know it's not a multiplayer game, but these types of games are fun to just watch people play.

I really want it but I also want Mario Kart and GTA, and buying all three would cost like 200 quid wouldn't it? Not to mention Rock Band which is supposedly out here soon. Don't really wanna blow money too fast.

Rock Band is supposedly out in a matter of weeks. Probably cost you at least £130 for all the stuff from what I've seen.
