There are also ways amuse yourself without playing video games. For some reason, people still buy video games, though. I'm sure there's no rational explanation why. Of course Wii Fit isn't needed for exercise. Nothing is needed for excercise except working muscles, and nothing is going to do the exercise for you. Wii Fit isn't selling exercise, it's selling motivation. Virtual trainers, stat tracking and high scores help motivation a lot more than just making a new year's resolution and rolling back your alarm clock. |
high scores = motivation = gratification? If you need a virtual game to motivate you to have a healthier lifestyle there is a problem. If you are using the program in conjunction with a workout routine, that is perfectly fine but in no way is Wiifit a healthy standalone workout routine. People should exercise and practice Yoga for REAL reasons, not for high scores and instant gratification. Same goes for the gaming music industry.
