I'm pretty sure you can get a cardio workout from an exercise "video" game.  I belive the Nike + for Xbox 360 and Kinect does this.  I'm pretty sure I even read about a professional athlete who gave it his endorsement of approval.  Not as a paid endorsement, but his personal opinion of the product. 

So, no.  The Wii Fit might not really rise to the level of a cardio workout, but I wouldn't suggest Kinect isn't capable of helping to provide one.

Any sucess story of this ?

Do you listen to Major Nelson Radio?

Eric Neustadter has been using it to keep in shape and periodically he provides updates.  Basically his last update was it was "Kicking my butt.", if memory serves me correctly.  This was from a guy who, despite being a bit paunchy, still regularly gets a lot of exercise. 

I believe Laura Massey, another co-host on the show, has been using it but not quite as extensively as Eric has.

From my best impression, it's geared toward someone serious about getting a good workout.  You don't say "This is fun!" or "This is easy!" when you're finished with the workout.  I think for someone who hasn't worked out in a while it's more along the lines of "Dear mother of God what is this Hell I've put myself through?"
