You've built a straw man. I don't know of anyone advocating Wii Fit as the sole means of exercise.

 

Well, apparently some people do.  There are even Wii Fit Diets published.  If you read this entire thread you will even discover people using it as a sole means of exercise.  Maybe I just have a gripe with some aspects of the video game world when certain people mistake a virtual experience for an actual experience.  It really all started to annoy me with my own anecdotal experiences when a co-worker decided not to goto the gym with me because he "did his wii fit exercise in the morning" or the secretary who loved Wii Fit Yoga but wouldn't try the actual experience ONCE.  Sorry if I come off cold but I will ALWAYS advocate for actual exercise, a real yoga experience, learning and playing real instruments in conjunction with these video games, especially if they are passionate about what they have learned.  Wii Fit/ music genre games are a learning tool for the real experience, we all must remember this.

Edit: I also won't tolerate being called a Fanboy for no apparent reason when no mention or comparisons to other consoles have even been brought up in these posts. Especially when I'm expressing concern/dislike for a single game, not the console.  I'll admit I did so poorly and maybe too judgemental at first, but this fanboy post by bardicverse is absolute BS.
