| youjiro said: he dnt look like hes lost weight he just looks like hes sucking it in in the after picture! lol. but congrats to him if he did lose that much weight, altough he didn't have to weight for wii fit, i'm sure there was a gym around the corner... |
You have just hit the nail on the head, despite the statement most likely being intended to have a negativity towards wii fits effect, it just goes to show that wii fit isn't just what is already possible at the gym.. its the motivation to do what is available at the gym..
sure, he could have gone to the gym around the corner.. but here is the crux of the matter.. he has not .. however with the release of wii fit he has clearly been given the incentive/motivation to take a step in the right direction concerning his health and fitness, and now maybe he'll be more active in that, perhaps even by starting a membership at the gym around the corner..
This is exactly what miyamoto said the game was for "the goal isn't fitness, but to make you aware of your body" (i'm just paraphrasing here) .. which some people took to meaning "you can't get fit using this" but it is obvious now as it was then to most, that it just meant that despite it also making you fit, it also fulfils its actual goal in making the user aware of his/her own health
