shuandrew | May 09, 2008 | News | Wii

Wii Fit hasn't yet arrived in North America, but retailers and experts in the UK are already predicting that the software will go on to break sales records for interactive fitness tools.

Not yet released in the US, Wii Fit has already sold millions in Japan since December and over 338,000 copies in the UK since its release two weeks ago.

With such massive promotion, experts are predicting that the exercise title is set to become the best-selling interactive fitness tool ever, outselling the likes of fitness DVDs.

The only thing is it can only be sold to people with Wiis, and not everyone has one.

Oh god, i love this thing already. I mean it's selling just a bout everywhere and i honestly don't even know why people just can't get fit the normal ways. I mean c'mon, it isn't overly hard.

I might jump on the bandwagon and go pick up a copy myself. It actually looks like a game that isn't just fun for a few hours, but rather it will keep you occupied for a week or more!

_{To be honest i don't really like Wii fit. Its just another means of being lazy. Now before fanboys jump let me elaborate on it. When you buy home gyms or something people use it for the first few weeks and stop after that, cause you say things like :"Oh yeah tomorrow im going to do the Total Gym or Bowflex, or Wii fit". Than later on they just don't feel like doing it and they become lazy.
Now i will attest to this, since i've done it myself, and probably 80% of America since its been known to be overweight country.

The best way for anyone to get a real work out its get off the couch, bed, chair whatever and walk or drive to an actual gym. I feel any type of home gyms, especially in America just doesn't work. And i feel this won't do anything at all in America in terms of sales.

Its just another thing to say you have it, and rarely gets used and collects dust and rust.}

    _{Thats not the point, my point is when you go the the real gym despite the money you have no choice but to work out. When you have home gyms you put it off so much it just rusts and collects dust.
    
    Going out to real gyms with trainers with friends or by your self is the only way for someone to actually get fit, since well your actually doing something than being lazy. Same as walking or jogging.
    
    Why do you think America has a high percentage of Fat or overweight people? Its because of this. Trust me i live in America i know why the percentages are that big.
    
    There is a 20% chance that some work so much they can't get exercise. But the only way for someone to actually burn the weight is to go to real gyms money or not, barely enough Americans actual use the Home gyms they have. I have a Bowflex, now i do use it, but thats because i have the time and not doing anything. But im like 1% if not less of the people who are either fat or slightly overweight.
    
    Im not talking out of my ass here.}
