It is what it is. Personally as someone who plays two sports and lifts weights 5x a week, the honest truth is there's no gimmick or gadget that's going to make you healthier than taking a simple jog around the neighborhood or something a couple of free weights and 10-15 minutes of weighted lunges couldn't do.

That said, I understand that Nintendo is facing up to a future where they may be irrelevant in the traditional console space, and the portable space is a bit scary for them right now too. They need new business avenues, so I can't fault them for going this route business wise.
