| Fastrabbit09 said: rocketpig, a) there is nothing 'quirky' about a virtual trainer...people have used workout videos for years in US/Europe and this is simply a more interactive video...they pay 20-30 for each one of those on one topic...this is 70 for multiple topics (strength, yoga, etc) that actually helps ensure you do the workout CORRECTLY (this is huge) and will also serve to motivate you and track your progress, unlike a video b) people pay well over 320+tax for workout machines all the time...$500 for treadmills, ab rowing machines, etc |
The thing is that people can walk into a store and buy the workout machine device they want. That won't happen with a Wii + Wii Fit. The Wii is very hard to find and Wii Fit is not a real workout. It will have a surge as people get excited by the idea of the device but once it is realized that people don't lose weight while using the machine coupled with the difficulty in finding a Wii in a store, I think that the "game" will quickly fade into obscurity in the west.
Time will tell who is right about this.
