Wii Fit heads Xmas wish-list

If you are after the Wii Fit game this Christmas then you might want to ask Santa to do his shopping early.

That's because it is the most searched-for product by online shoppers in the run-up to Christmas, according to figures from Hitwise.

The company said that the game, which helps you get fit while having fun, is ahead of the Nintendo Wii console, the Apple iPhone and the Nokia N96 in the search stakes right now.

"The popularity of Nintendo’s Wii Fit, which accounted for one in six searches for a video game during October, has helped online searches for video games overtake those for consoles in the run-up to Christmas," said Hitwise's Robin Goad.

In terms of video games, Wii Fit is ahead of Fable 2, Far Cry 2 and Call of Duty: World at War in terms of the number of searches, according to Hitwise.
