Wii Fit may become second best selling game this decade

Currently at 3rd place, Wii Fit, Nintendo’s Balance Board enhanced “Workout Title”, has sold 7.9M units since its release last year. Experts seem to predict that may just take the second place spot, which is currently being held by Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which has sold 8.25M units. Even with sales justifiably going down, and that Nintendo released a new Wii Fit Plus bundle, Nintendo and analysts seem to think it will take over that benchmark with ease.

What it may not even touch is the number one seller this decade. Care to guess what it is? With 11.1M units sold, we are of course talking about one of the most hotly contested games when it comes to both quality and the very definition of being a game: Wii Play

Brad’s Take: It’s almost jaw dropping how Nintendo seems to have a claim in every footnote in this generation. They’ve not only gain profits with their systems, but they’ve also gained tons of profits with their software, as evidenced by this (and not mentioned Mario Kart Wii, which is 4th place this generation).

That being said, lightning won’t strike twice for Wii Fit Plus. It will sell marginally well, but not nearly as well as the monstrous success of Wii Fit.
