According to videogame industry analyst Michael Pachter,Wii Fitis set to eclipseGrand Theft Auto IV’ssales this year. The news comes on the heels of a report byGigaOMwho predicted the same thing.
So, how does a game likeWii Fitcompete in the same marketplace thatGTA IVwas supposed to dominate until the next millennia? It’s simple.Wii Fit’svisceral combat, realistic physics, and glorious visuals have inspired countless billions to buy the game and its accompanying peripheral, the Wii Rocket Board. While the Rocket Board allows users to time travel as well as visit the moon, it’s really the game that people are gravitating towards.
The fact thatWii Fitmay actually have the ability to outsellGTA IVcements the fact that our gaming climate has changed significantly since the introduction of the Wii. Hopefully Rockstar doesn’t take this news as an indication thatGrand Theft Recreational Activitiesneeds to happen.
