Wii Fit Sales Surpass That of Halo 3 in the United States

In a stunning move, Nintendo’s Wii Fit sales have surpassed that of Halo 3 in the United Sates.
Selling in total 6 million units in the US, Wii Fit now holds bragging rights over Halo 3 which has 5.9 million units sold in the US. What also should be noted is that Halo 3 has been available since September 2007 while Wii Fit has only been on the market since May 2008, 8 months after Bungie’s mega hit!
Does this mean Wii Fit is a better entertainment device? Probably not, but it does symoblize America’s obession with losing weight. Congrats to Nintendo, as I guess sometimes a bit of exercise is better than fragging people online 24/7, especially on double xp weekends.

Not even a fair argument. Wii fit is more of a work out video than a video game. The difference is that people buy workout videos with the intention of using them to get in shape but most just lay around gathering dust after a week or two. Most people who bought Halo 3 are still using it, at least a little bit anyway.
