Games are supposed to be fun, not workouts. I give it a 5 based on its concept.

And why can't they be both?

They CAN be both.. but they just aren't. Why? because nobody likes to work out. I should rephrase..

People don't typically like to work out on a video game system in front of their tv.

I am not saying wiifit wont sell, people will buy it...and here's why........

they should come out with wiitaxes, wiinutrition, wiihomework.. ridiculous sounding I know.

But no more ridiculous than wiifit, they are all offering activities that people feel as if they should be doing, in a "fun" way. People feel like they should loose weight.. instead of being serious about it, go ahead and buy a video game!

So what is my point,  Wiifit will be sold like crazy, but it will only be enjoyed initially- in the same way a workout is enjoyed.
