I never understood the fascination of Wii Fit. It's like people are too lazy to go to a gym that they have to get their exercise from a video game. I wonder how many balance-related activities are needed to equal my usual workouts. |
Isn't that the whole point? Exercising in the convenience of your own home. Besides you can get a great workout with wii fit with the right routine. Plus there are many testimonies of people who have lost weight with wii fit, I myself are one of them.

There are also people losing weight by eating less and saving money in the process. You can get a great workout by being naked in an empty room if you want to. You can exercise in the convinience of your home or your neighbours bathroom no TV or Console necessary.
Not that I think Wii fit is a bad thing but its motivating people to perform basic exercises they just wouldn`t do on their own without a tv telling them what to do, some people need that. But the marketing of Wii fit tried to turn it into some miracle cure for overweight which is plain stupid. A chair can give you a better workout.

When did they do that? I can't remember anything Nintendo put out (besides maybe Wii Fit girl) that presented Wii Fit as a miracle cure. Most of Nintendo's PR focussed on balance, posture, and overall lifestyle changes. I can't really remember any sensationalism coming from Nintendo's camp.

Well if the marketing did`t turn it into a miracle weightloss cure its weird that the people thought about it that way. I have honestly no idea how the wii fit marketing was I didn`t pay attention and rarely see commercials.
Aslong as its seen as what it is. A motivator to make people do something instead of sitting infront of the TV, but no replacement for serious physical activity. I am ok with it. But people sure as hell did not talk about it that way around here.
