Okay I start this because people believe that the Wii fit was the reason that people got the board. I disagree, I think if the balance board didn't exist the fitness genre wouldn't have a viable claim.
I am looking at games we are getting at work or have got in the past, Zumba, Dance Central, Just Dance 1 and 2, Fitness: Evolved, EA sports Active 1 and 2, The Biggest Loser etc etc. Now not all games use the Balance Board, I get that, in fact some aren't of the same console but I don't think they would exist without the Balance Board.
The reason I suggest this is Wii Fit without the balance board, although a fitness, would be sub par in comparison. Wii fit is fun, well for a fitness game with the board, but without the board for a fitness game I don't think it would work as well.
Thus I come to conclusion that the Balance Board is genre defining thus would be the preferred component of the Wii Fit/Balance Board arguments.
Thoughts?
