I recently saw this article which states that the Wii Fit will soon outsell Grand Theft Auto IV. In most cases I would be pissed that a game which involves absolutely no sex, drugs, or murder would outsell one of the greatest and most bad ass games of all time. I would also typically go into a rant about how this is a sign of the times that a simple fitness game would outsell a game tailored to non-pansy guys.
But in this case, I am overjoyed. Let me explain.
In case you haven’t noticed, women are possibly the laziest group of people on our planet, at least in this country. It seems like it is socially accepted that women will gain like 50 lbs. as soon as they get married and maintain or increase their weight from then on. And don’t even start on all the fat as hell girls who haven’t even graduated high school yet.
If you read the article, Nintendo admits that their overwhelming sales of the Wii Fit are due to…you guessed it, women. Thank God for Nintendo. It’s almost as if some early twenties Japanese programmers felt sorry for us guys over here and created a fun way for bitches in America to lose weight. Nintendo understands our plight; read the third paragraph of the article: “Nintendo realized that there was an untapped audience of ‘women and moms’”. Notice the “women AND moms” in quotes, even Nintendo realizes our female weight problem. They don’t even consider American moms as women because they are so out of shape and flabby.
I love the quote from some pussy stating that “Every edition of GTA has aroused complaints over its portrayal of women”. Maybe it was GTA’s portrayal of women that helped motivate all these fat hoes to lose weight with a Wii Fit in the first place. They see us smacking around some skinny hot stripper on the game and think, “Wow, if he treats that hot girl like that imagine what he thinks about my tubby ass!”.
This is one case where I’m fine with a simple fun game outselling a GTA title. In fact,I hope the Wii Fit outsells GTA IV by 500% or more! Maybe the Grand Theft Auto series disrespecting women coupled with the fun of the Wii Fit will drive a female fitness revolution and guys can once again walk outside without worrying about being barraged by fat tubs of goo.
