I have WiiFit plus and it gives a light workout when I cant get to the healthclub. At the healthclub I burn nearly twice the amount of calories.  I have been working out seriously since January so I am not some beast.  WiiFit games and exercises can be fooled and dont spot mistakes.  Again you are tied to the annoying board as well.  I can use a scale to weight myself.  From what we saw today Kinect may be able to handle posture as well.  Can we please be honest that something that tracks your whole body during movement is going to be more accurate.

lol, of course actual gym equipment can give the best workout and any game you'll be able to cheat. But the wfplus can give you a good workout if done right. If you cheat then you're a tool anyways, what's the point?

Tracking your body movement is not all that is needed. Balance and weight are also very important, even more so on many items.

The overall package in WFplus is still, IMO, better than what I saw on display. Regardless, what has been shown thus far won't cause people to purchase a $300 product if they already have Wii/wfplus/wsr.

Unless you believe there are no additional Wii consumers out there then the 360 with Kinect still has a market.  I didnt say I cheat, but the Wii cant detect cheating or more importantly you doing something incorrectly.  The demo today went right into that and showed how the software will instruct you that you are doing it wrong or how to simply improve.  Wii cant do this. Tell me how well will Wii Board work with Dumbells?  Kinect could detect them. Even in the demo today the screen showed dumbells on the floor.   Maybe a preview of potential that the software detects dumbbells.  Wii cant do this.
