Wii Fit's success has created an entire genre – and now more and more companies are turning to fitness games....
James Batchelor speaks with leading publishers about the reasons for this genre's impressive growth and find out how they plan to capitalise on Nintendo's success…
As MCV reported last week, Wii Fit is so far the best-selling game of 2009. And it launched over a year ago. Where other games see their sales trail off a month or so after their debut, Nintendo's Balance Board flagship was still riding the upper echelons of the charts in the run-up to Christmas and into this year.

The NPD Group has revealed the top 10 best-selling exclusives in the U.S. since 1995, and Nintendo holds all 10 spots.
And the #1 game on this list is also the #1 game (and accessory) to be found at the local goodwill.

Nintendo has always had the most mass appeal, my Mother would play Mario.
There's landslides and then there's this. Wouldn't be surprised if the top 50 was mostly Nintendo games.
VGChartz's William D'Angelo: "Today we take a look at the top 10 best-selling games for yet another platform. Up to this point we have looked at the original PlayStation, the Nintendo 64, the PlayStation 2, the original Xbox, the GameCube, the Nintendo DS, and the PSP. This week it's the turn of Nintendo's most popular home console, the Wii.
The Wii is the fifth best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling home console in gaming history. It is also the best-selling home console not released by Sony. It sold 101.18 million units lifetime."
Just like the DS list, every game on the Wii's list has sold over 10 million. Not even PS1 and PS2 did that. That's very incredible
