NPD Group: Wii Fit has outsold Halo 3

If you were still wondering how wide the mainstream appeal for Nintendo’s hyper-successful Wii Fit actually is, here’s a good example. The NPD Group recently confirmed to Kotaku that in addition to its first place finish in the February NPD charts, Wii Fit broke the 6 million sales mark, pushing it past Halo 3’s 5.9 million copies sold. A fairly remarkable feat, considering Bungie’s opus has been on the market 8 months longer than Wii Fit — and for $30 cheaper, to boot. Pehaps if Halo 3 did more to help shed them chunky pounds, it’d still be in the lead.
