What's interesting to me is that Nintendo had this experience on a console in 1986 and didn't try again until 2008. The Power Pad sold pretty well, wonder why they waited 22 years?
Notice PS2 had the most fitness games and now gets no credit. There was a local guy all over the news a few years back because he lost 160 poinds with his PS2 and a bunch of Konami DDR games. DDR games locally started selling like crazy, and all the game shops were selling those metal DDR mats. I own Eye Toy's Kinetic and it would have been great had the wide angle lens not caused so many camera issues.
Also notice it took 26 years for an exergame to captivate the market on such a level that a portion of the critical masses can now associate gaming with exercising. Though DDR reached the masses, and a good deal of those sales were for working out, a lot were simply for gaming. More than 99% of Wii fit sales are for fitness, with a few being for the controller to play Shaun White, Skate It, Rayman, etc.
