Wii Fit – Big Hit this Christmas

Every year around Christmas time, shopping experts start to look at what products they believe will be the most popular.

This Christmas it seems that it’s the Nintendo Wii Fit’s year as it heads to the top of the shopping charts for the most popular gift bought this Christmas.

The way that the experts work out which item is most likely to be the most popular Christmas gift is by looking at which items are being searched for on the internet most often. It has been found this year that the Wii Fit is going to head the list with one in six video games and consoles searches in October being for the Nintendo unit.

It hasn’t all been plain sailing for the console though, as there has been tough competition from the Apple iPhone and the Nokia N96. However, there have been many reports that shops have been selling out of the console and have not been able to meet the consumer demand but, as of yet, shops seem to be keeping up with the demand for the iPhone and the N96.

Nintendo seem to be having a lot of success recently as their consoles are selling very well. The Nintendo DS handheld console has been a huge success and has actually managed to outsell Sony’s PSP model.

Part of the appeal for the Nintendo Wii Fit has been that it can assist you in your fight to lose weight. With so many people trying different techniques in order to lose some weight, playing on a video game in order to lose the extra pounds has appealed to many as it sounds like a much more entertaining and fun method than the more traditional means.
