Wii Fit Systems

According to the NPD Group, an industry group which monitors monthly and yearly North American software sales, Nintendo's popular Wii Fit exercise program is about to become the second-best-selling 'videogame' since 2000.

Since being released last April, the $89 game which comes with the Wii Balance Board has skyrocketed up the sales charts, and has stayed there regularly since. "The appeal of Wii Fit is so broad and its ability to keep attracting new users every month has really played out time and time again," says Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo's executive vice president of sales and marketing. But we already knew that!

Wii Fit sales have beaten even the top Wii games such as Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Mario Galaxy. They've even beaten Madden games or Guitar Hero games. It's even bigger than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Halo 1, 2 or 3. The success if likely because the Wii Fit attracts both old and new gamers. Even for people who think of themselves as "non-gamers" can play, and do.

Making Wii Fit a blockbuster is the fact that approximately 7.9 million copies of the game have been sold in North America through August 2009, according to NPD. Mario Kart Wii is ranked at number five with 6.7 million units sold, so Nintendo is grabbing positions with its Wii offerings generally.

It's true though that Wii Fit sales, which were strong in January, began to drop off each month since. Will sales resume for the holidays? Well, the game still sells well, and it's likely that September sales will keep Wii Fit on the charts. Especially with the recent release of Wii Fit Plus on October 4.

And guess what - the top seller since 2000? It's Wii Play with sales of over 11 millions units. Next is the Vitality Sensor - with release dates and details still to come. This sensor will monitor your heart rate and tailor your experience to your mood. Nintendo just keep innovating - with more for the Wii Fit and Wii console coming soon.

Right now prices are great for the Wii Console, and especially for the Wii Fit. Demand has been slowing due to the economy, but people are also looking for easy ways to stay fit, and the Wii Fit is the perfect answer. Today there are plenty of Wii Fit w/ balance board starter bundle sales especially online.

Nintendo's Wii Fit balance board for the Wii console is one of the hottest gaming releases since it came out a year ago.  Now users are getting much more exercise with some new releases for the Wii Fit.  Tired of yoga and balancing exercises?  Let's get a little more physical folks!

Electronic Arts has released EA Sports Active For Wii, which is the first fitness "game" released by the gaming company known for its sports games like "Madden NFL" and "NBA Live."

You can really burn the calories using Sports Active, in just 30, according to EA spokespeople.  instead of a focus on "eastern" style fitness like yoga, this game uses more active, Western style fitness activities.
