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. |
It's not about doing something that jogging and more mundane exercise can't do, it's about making it fun. Gamifying exercise. There are a lot of people, myself included, that are bored to tears from the mere mention of "taking a simple jog around the neighborhood" or "free weights" or "lunges", yet they still want to get healthy. Providing a way to get healthy in fun and exciting ways can meet the needs of those people.
