True, true. I do expect something along the lines of Wii Fit to show up quickly... But you'll understand if I'm not as optimistic as you are about its potential popularity. Nintendo kind of conquered that "niche". |
I was surprised that a bathroom scale sold like hot cakes on the Wii, but I'm wiser now.
My wife several times a week plays her 3 or 4 mile walk exercise DVD. If you could change the exercise routines by talking to it, or if it could "see" what exercise you were doing, that would be huge. You can't do real aerobics on a Wii balance board, but you could with this.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
