60% Drop out rate for Wii fit Players
Microsoft’s vice president of Xbox says around 60% of Wii fit players don’t return to the game. Speaking recently, MS VP David Gosen has praised Nintendo for all they have done with the Wii, but warned there is a very fine line between great gameplay and a gimmick.
He went as far as to suggest that some research puts Wii Fit in the latter category.
“What Nintendo have done with the Wii is truly fantastic - there is no question about it. But I think sometimes there is a thin line between gimmick and great gameplay,” said Gosen.

Wii Air Drum Kit
Fancy playing the air drums with your Wii controllers? Download the Wii Drum Kit. The latest version adds support for the Nunchuck, so you can use both hands to play your virtual drum kit. This one is a Windows application, and source is available at the This is Not a Label blog. Different gestures are used to trigger a specific drum, so the high hat is a flick to the side, the snare is a forward hit, etc. There’s no kick pedal, of course, but the fist stamping motion that’s used is a reasonable alternative.

Sony PS3 sales rise after the price cut
Sales in the Sony PS3 have risen over 250% in the US and have also overtaken the Wii in Japan for the first time.
Latest figures from the US show price-cutting there has seen sales leap by around 250 per cent in the week ending 11 November, compared to weeks before the October price snip and launch of the new 40GB model.
In Japan, a traditional Nintendo stronghold, it’s the same story with the PS3 finally managing to outsell the mighty Wii to the tune of over 20,000 consoles in the last week.
I suspect that the main reason the PS3 overtook the Wii in Japan is because of the worldwide shortage of the Nintendo Wii.
Stock of the Wii is selling out as soon as it hits the shelves, and the demand over the Christmas period is going to be huge, but Nintendo seem to have trouble keeping up with the demand for the Wii, so I suspect a lot of people who can’t get their hands on a Wii will be buying a PS3.
