What is the difference between Wii Fit and Wii Sport?

Wii Sports is another theme of games in Nintendo's Wii series and was first launched in Europe, Japan and Australia in December 2006. Wii Sports consists of 5 separate games: tennis, boxing, baseball, bowling and golf. All the games use the motion sensor technology of the Wii remote and Nunchuk attachments to control the actions of the on-screen characters via the movements similar to that of the actual sports (i.e. swinging to mimic a golf swing or tennis shot). The games also feature training and fitness modes that monitor player progress in the sports.

Overall, Wii Sports has been well received by critics and received awards from the gaming press and entertainment community and it was the best-selling game of 2007 in Japan, selling 30.87 million copies worldwide by September 2008.
