Love it. New figures show that Nintendo's Wii Fit game and balance board have outsold copies of Halo 3 in the US. I think this says good things about future trends in gaming and also most likely means more Fit-compatible games targeted at gamers and families who already own the balance board. I am also looking forward to Electronic Arts's entry into the fitness game market with EA Sports Active. Compatible with the Fit board but not requiring it, EA Active will ramp up the activities that Wii Fit started with more intense cardio targeting like running, kick-boxing and other exercises. Due out in May, I think EA Active will probably sell well alongside the Fit, assuming stores can keep it in stock!

Interesting story.
The fact that a casual game like Wii Fit could topple Halo in sales is astonishing.
It's becoming apparent that the gaming core audience is changing from a hardcore group of gamers to a more popular medium with many more fans who don't necessarily call themselves gamers.
