| Phendrana said: How is it not a game? It can be used for either exercise or recreation. Would you not consider DDR a game? Now, if it was only the strength training and yoga I'd probably agree with you, but there's a lot more to it than that. I don't think you understand what all is in Wii Fit. |
WiiFit is not a game (in my eyes) because the creator's vision was to make exercise fun. The goal is not to "win", but to follow a series of exercise that are fun.
You put in your weight, your height, and it calculates your BMI, and tells you what to play in order to reach a defined goal. The reason for the program you follow is not to achieve some game statistic; it's to lose weight, or gain balance, or whatever you told it you wanted to do.
To then compare it to a piece of media that's sole purpose is entertainment (a video game) is pointless.
DDR does none of the above. It's a game that takes effort to complete. Not something that was conceived for the purpose of losing weight.
Oh, and to the person that said WiiFit will not turn a fat guy into a fit guy is wrong. It can get very intense, and as with anything, if you continue to use it, it will work.
