UK Charts: Wii Fit debuts, third largest video game launch ever |
Listed in: Magazines, News Tags: Austria, Chart Track, Europe, Sonic, UK
Ó
Europe's infatuation with Mario games has been broken for Wii Fit, which debuted on first place in the video game charts for the week ending on April 26.Chart Track reports that Wii Fit raked in GBP 16.3 million (US$ 32.4 million) in its debut week, making it the third largest video game launch in terms of value.
Miyamoto was right on the money with Wii Fit. Its record is only topped by Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which took home GBP 24.2 million (US$ 48.18 million) when it launched, and Halo 3, which earned GBP 16.9 million (US$ 33.6 million).
Mario Kart Wii and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, as well as Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, have all had to settle for a spot lower to make way for Wii Fit. Here are the rest of the top games in the UK for the week ending on April 26:
- Wii Fit
- Mario Kart Wii
- Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
- Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
- Pro Evolution Soccer 2008
- Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
- Sega Superstars Tennis
- Dr. KawashimaÂ’s Brain Training
- UEFA Euro 2008 Austria-Switzerland
- Tom ClancyÂ’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2

You simply can not deny the VALUE and the FUN you get out of the Wii!!!!
Naysayer - One who frequently engages in excessive complaining, negative banter and/or a genuinely poor and downbeat attitude.

My Wii hasn't even been turned on in the last two weeks because they keep coming out with gimmicky garbage like THIS.
Give me a REAL GAME, please.

You can not deny the VALUE and FUN the AVERAGE PERSON gets out of the Wii.
There are plenty of real games. Take your pick. If you don't like any of them or you believe ALL of them are not real then I suggest selling your Wii. It's obviously not for you and the games are primarily going to be for the same target audience. I base that suggestion on the majority of your negative comments regarding the Wii. Which makes you another perfect example of a naysayer.

Please provide proof of the mistakes.
Secondly, as for what the Nintendo fans will be saying about GTA4....I'm sure a vast lot of them will be saying things like, "THIS GAME KICKS ASS!!!!" Especially since a vast lot of them will be playing it.
Not sure what your point was???
Sales prove everything and GTA4 will be a huge hit as well as a console mover. I look forward to it!

And the target audience you are talking about is 5-10 year old kids?

That's a flat out lie. Typical Mr. Nonsense BS. All you have are lies.
Why why why why are you insistent on spreading BS lies?
On eBay:
39,356 items found for: Wii
Now this includes ACCESSORIES, GAMES and it includes OLD AND NEW.
So now we have PROOF that Mr. Nonsense thinks that 39,356 equals MILLIONS.
This is HILARIOUS....day after day Mr. Nonsense continues to prove how much of a douche bag he really is.
Here's more:
302 items found for: Wii USED
That ALSO includes accessories and games.
302!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!
@JaXeRiR - Good bait, eat it yourself.

...and he wonders why people call him a douche bag? HAHAHA!!!!
"Also, Nintendo's "big" releases are done for the year"
More nonsense and lies.
"Since the "quality" games for the Wii are done for the year"
More nonsense and lies.
"Ninty better stop faking the shortage soon."
More nonsense and lies.

"Not the best accuracy, but a close approximation"
Not even CLOSE! All you did was multiple everything out. That's about as FAR OFF as you can get. It would figure that you use such BS data to derive your thoughts. That's why you're as ignorant as you are.
"Anyway, since isoretard takes EVERYTHING literally, millions of people have not sold their Wii systems on ebay YET, but that number is ever increasing"
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ! How the hell is that taking things literally? You said MILLIONS. MILLIONS means MILLIONS. As usual you are talking out your rear end. Spreading lies and rumors that are not true and once again someone put your pathetic ass in check WITH FACTS and here you are AS USUAL taking everything back...... you are LAME to say the very least.
Speaking of ever increasing sales numbers, there are MORE used 360's on eBay then Wii's and it's EVER INCREASING. So....whatever BS point you are trying to make is....well...BS! HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Let's dish out some more FACTS for this idiot shall we?
Used Wii's on eBay as I write this: 462
Used 360's on eBay as I write this: 1754 AND EVER INCREASING.... Go ahead moron, multiple that out since it's release date...HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!
"So anyone who doesn't like the Wii isn't average."
Very good little boy...you learned something today!!!! If the average person likes their Wii then for those that do not like their Wii they are NOT apart of that average....YEAH!!!! Little Mr. Nonsense learned something today!!!!
"Only isoretard can determine if one is average, and he does it by their Wii preference"
No, sales figures, NOT ME determine what is average. Damn, and here I thought you actually learned something...OH WELL. You also say this like not being apart of the average is a "bad thing" or a "negative thing"? Seems you don't understand more then I thought.
"Sounds like more official Nintendo marketing BS from isoretard. "
As has been proven time and time again, this is ALL you have.
Oh man!!!! I love making you look like an incompetent fool...it's so EASY!!!

1. Who are YOU to speak for someone else?
2. You see Mr. Nonsense, words have MEANINGS. You have to use words as they are intended based on their MEANING. You like to use words in any way you see fit regardless of their meaning. Just because YOU do that, doesn't mean everyone else does as well.
"The numbers themselves are correct, and show a suprising trend of Wii owners settling for crappy titles."
Once again, nothing but your BS opinion of which no one cares for based on your ratings.
"If you went by the UK's or Japan's top selling software (crap), you would not think a badass game like GTA4 would do very well."
Obviously you are wrong. Obviously you and all your stupid ignorant theories are wrong as most people on this site prove on a daily basis. Obviously I love my Wii and I'm pretty sure I'll love GTA4. But you'll have to let me know if I really do or do not like it since you have appointed yourself the authority as to what people do and do not like.
"This will no doubt prove the PS3's and XBOX 360's dominance over gimmicky consoles."
No, it wont. It's only one of many games. So far NO GAME has done that. Especially NOTHING on your precious 360.

Since all you do is LIE, there is no such thing as an over exaggerated expression coming from you. Since you state everything you say as FACT you have to be prepared to have everyone keeping you in CHECK.
"I certanly didn't learn anything from you."
Or anyone else on this planet. HAHAHA!!!!!!!
"You have no way of telling the satisfaction of Wii owners, yet you say it's average to like the Wii."
Um...I know you're clueless and all but there are ways to tell. It very simple actually. Just look at the market. Do you need more help?
"Out of 6.5 billion people in the world, only 20 million even have one, so that's definately not the average!"
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
1. The world population was 6.6 billion in the middle of last year.
2. Not everyone is apart of the statistic.
3. I know you have no clue as to what statistics are or what an average is but ONLY Wii users can be apart of the WII USER "like it" club.
"What is wrong with your brain? Why do you love Nintendo so much?"
1. What is wrong with your brain? Why do you love the 360 so much?
2. I find it HILARIOUS that after having asked you a couple times, "What is wrong with your brain", here you are repeating me like a parrot. You are SOOO LAME!!!!
"Does playing with your Wii take the stresses out of your failed marrage?"
Tisk tisk....more LIES!
"What kind of b1tch likes a whiney dumbass ass hole that argues about everything?"
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! !! !!!!!!!!!
"You must either have a match made in heaven or a pending divorce."
You pick.
"Sales figures only tell how many people buy into hype"
That's about as wrong as you can get.
"and purchase whatever they're told to by advertising."
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Go back to your pot you stupid pothead.
"It does not tell how many purchasers are satisfied."
The console numbers by themselves? That's true. Who said it does though? Attach rate along with long term figures however do. Do you "get it" yet?
"Since you are the biggest Wii tard on this site and easily have the lowest IQ, I'll explain the definiton of average. Out of a given population MORE people prefer something than not."
I've already proven through FACT that you have no clue what it means. But I'm glad you took the time to go to dictionary.com like I TOLD YOU TO. Good dog!
"Judging by GAME sales, the Wii has the worst customer satisfaction."
That's an outright lie. Is this more of your, "The wii has ZERO attach rate" lies? The Wii has the lowest failure rate and the HIGHEST satisfaction. Nothing but more lies....
"Satisfied customers have plenty of quality games to choose from and therefore buy more."
HAHAHA!!!!! Now this is PROOF that you are making up crap based on how YOU FEEL. YOU hate the Wii therefore you conclude that EVERYONE else hates it to. Or at least the "average". Man, what a pathetic little douche bag you are.
"Even you cannot deny FACTS."
What? Show me ONE FACT in your post. There are NONE!
"Even your fellow Wii fans have repeatedly criticised your stupid meaningless comments"
Give us links!!! Everyone knows you're a liar. No one believes this crap. Not a single person has done what you claim.
"but you act like you speak for everyone! What a pathetic loser!"
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!! Yesterday I specifically nailed you on speaking for someone else and here you are being Mr. Nonsense Parrot again...oh man...how sad and pathetic you are.
"Uh oh, other "non average" people don't care for the Wii or it's horrible games relying on gimmicks and propoganda to succeed. That makes isoretard angry!"
No it doesn't. Which is why there was no reason to comment. There are plenty of people that don't like the Wii. But they aren't the average by any means. It would be impossible for everyone to like the same thing. That's the difference between you and
Reply
"Actually it's 1549 used 360s now and only 325 new."
Actually, the numbers change every minute you idiot!
"The 360 has been out a year longer, more systems are older, and new HDMI models have been released."
Oh, that's right. I forgot that Microsoft is SCREWING it's user base by releasing the 360 one piece at a time. The only way to have a REAL 360 is to re-buy it every year when they add more pieces and then sell your old one thus making you waste tons of money. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!
"It shows more people who buy new 360s actually PLAY them rather than sell them immediately on ebay."
No, it doesn't. It shows that people get bored with it and then sell it.
"The Wii is a console not even worth opening to 2487 people in the US just this week!"
Yup, that's a typical BS Mr. Nonsense conclusion. In the US, there is no such thing turning a quick buck. You MUST be right!
"The XBOX 360 continues to sell better than the Wii in North America"
Why do you only care about the US? Oh I know, because you have to exclude MAJOR AREAS OF POPULATION in order to skew reality and bend it into your needs.
The Wii is OUTSELLING the 360 and has been for a LONG TIME. In fact the Wii outsells the 360 so MUCH that it PASSED UP total sales figures even though the 360 had a huge head start.
ALL YOU DO IS LIE AND YOU KNOW NOTHING OF THAT YOU SPEAK.
There is only one spike where the 360 sold more then the Wii and that was back in August. Aside from that MORE WII'S ARE SOLD THEN 360's. Also more PS3's have sold then 360's FOR ALL OF 2008.
After 9 months of the Wii being on the market they sold MORE units then Microsoft sold 360's.
Let's put it another way so maybe you'll understand better:
After 22 months of 360 sales - 11,979,054
After 10 months of Wii sales - 12,263,547
Do you get it yet?
Here's some more FACTS:
To date 360 sales - 18,353,679
To date Wii sales - 24,578,292
Here's some of that FACT stuff I was talking about:
http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1+Wii+reg1+All+cons2+PS3+reg2+All+cons3+X360+reg3+All+align+1
"partially due to Nintendo's greed in giving priority shipping to nations with higher currency."
Even if that WAS true.....so? Who cares? It sounds like good business sense to me!
http://www.vgchartz.com/
And? What about it? As I proved above you are 100% wrong! What you are proving here now is that you TWIST FACTS and lie about them in order to come up with your BS comments.
"Nintendo really should fire you. You continue to get pwned every time."
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! You are F-U-N-N-Y!!!!!!! Now wipe all that egg off your face!
