There's going to be a Wii version, and it'll recombine the fanbase that split with WaW.

I don't understand this thread.
Is there like a population on GAF that thinks there should be mainly balance board and mini game collections being made industry wide and traditional games that have been evolving in complexity and graphics since the 80's should be phased out? Is this why there is disagreements?
The only thing these two products have in common is they are both used with a TV.
Actually is someone trying to show us than exercise software is here to stay?

By all rights it should be. It's a first person shooter, requiring use of all buttons on a complex controller, with very competitive multiplayer.
Bungie/Microsoft just got lucky, or perhaps deserve credit, for successfully marketing a "hardcore" product to a general market.

Excellent use of the word evolving. While some games you are likely describing might see wonderful sales, they are markedly less complex than games of yesteryear. The industry is focusing more and more on offering a cinematic blockbuster experience - slightly amusing, seeing how fucking awful these games are in terms of substantial content (when movies, hell, TV shows > games, you know it's fucking awful)... And less and less on actual gaming.
My mind has wandered. Point being: Evolution does not necessarily produce something 'better' or 'more complex', and I am pleased you used the word, regardless of how you meant to use it.

Amusing, but...
I think people make a fundamental mistake by listing groups of people, rather than traits or characteristics of people.
The two groups you mention are mutually exclusive. There is no overlap. In reality, there are a huge number of gamers who have individual traits and characteristics that lead them to be interested in the Wii Fit.

Absolutely pathetic part deux
The thread where WiiFit takes over the Ps3 will be one of the most epic threads in NeoGAF history. Men, you should get ready and make GIFs that take 20 minutes to load right now.

I think publishers and developers confuse people by releasing shipped numbers. For instance take two since day one touted GTA IV numbers of ten's of millions meanwhile it sold less than halo 2 and 3 and isn't close to last gen GTA's in units sold from NPD iirc.

Meh, I wasn't being serious.
Both games are perfectly comparable when it comes to the buying public. There are enough gamers I know who bought WiiFit and enjoyed the hell out of it.
I just think it's stupid how people attack WiiFit as if it isn't a part of the gaming business. As much as the game doesn't appeal to me at all, it's still a part of the gaming business.
That's not surprising as Wii Fit is still continuously being marketed (I can buy it at my local Shoppers Drug Mart) whereas the marketing for Halo 3 stopped about a month after it was released.
If there's one thing that Sony and Microsoft should learn from this generation is that it's possible to continue to market games long after they've been released.
Also of course the potential market for Wii Fit is much bigger than that of Halo but that's obvious.

Wiifit deserves it, so these numbers make me happy
Tiktaalik said:
well, Wii Fit is just as much an accessory as it is a game, in which its marketing doesnt really apply to Halo and the like. Also, Halo is a "core" game, so people who want Halo, know when its going to release, and will buy Halo, or will buy Halo when they buy a 360.
You can say Sony and MS should market new IP games such as LittleBigPlanet, etc, throughout the life of the console.

I agree it really is a great game... er, piece of software/hardware.

Yeah, I got a shit-eating grin on. Or, I really was wondering what some of the people thought. And in between the bullshit there has been some insight. The internet is full of assholes and shit they start, but that wasn't the intent of this thread...
