Then again a lot of things about the Wii completely baffle me like what is the big deal with Wii Fit?  Seriously a balance board?  Is this even a game? 

Two different answers:

1. Why does it have to be a game. If I enjoy it or if it helps me stay fit (both true) why isn't that enough. Is there something wrong with a console being useful?

2. It can be. When my grandson was visiting , he and all the boys in the neighborhood (ages 7-11) played on Wii Fit second only to MK Wii as a competitive game. They competed in the ski jump (favorite), downhill skiing, tightrope walking, hula hoop, soccerball head butt and foot race. I believe there were some other "games" they liked within Wii Fit but I can't recall them now. Actually several of the activities like ski jump, and tight rope walk are a lot of fun and as far as I know unique.
