Priced at £69.99, Wii Fit has found its way into the hands of about one in ten British Wii owners since its debut across Europe on April 25, earning Nintendo approximately £16.3million. Only Halo 3 (£16.9m) and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (£24.2m) have managed to out-gross Wii Fit in their launch periods, though the release of Grand Theft Auto IV may add to that list shortly.
With Mario Kart Wii occupying the no.2 position (despite a 62% drop in sales from last week), Nintendo held the top two spots of the UK All Formats Chart for the first time since the 2003 launch of Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire for the Game Boy Advance. The Sega-published Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games rounded out a clean sweep of the top three positions for Wii, cementing the platform's current dominion over British software sales.
1080 Wii : with balance board support.
What would be crazy if some game uses it for automobile throttle and brake or airplane rudder control.
What would be really crazy is if a game needs it as foot control for some mecha game, seeing as how the board isn't a simple left or right pressure pad if footage from the tilt board minigame is any indication.
Funny how the remote was designed because controllers were supposedly too intimidating and here with the Wii they sell remotes, nunchuks, classic controllers, the zapper and now this board (on top of supporting Cube controllers) and the non-gamers that were supposed to be easily confused are eating it up.
