There's plenty of "fat" Japanese people too. Since the Japanese are shorter on average than people in the USA they weigh less on average. BMI measurement is better for judging fitness but that doesn't help Nintendo in their quest for a better board. If there is some redesign for different markets it will be interesting to see what changes are made. We won't know what changes in design Nintendo has made to accommodate a greater weight, if any, until the board comes out.

I think we should have a dog thread

How fat was Reggie? Imagine the PR if Wii Fit got him into shape.

Edit: I mean at the Wii Fit presentation at...E3?

Ironically both also have some of the lowest test grades in the country..

 That is not ironic, it's implicit when one is obese. People with high IQ's are almost without exception skinny or slim because of a healthier diet. Without a healthy diet, it is very hard to develop your intellect, and studies show that hamburgers are literally making people dumber and is the single most hated "meal" by the WHO. It may sound bogus to Americans to hear it, but it's actually true; obesity and lowered IQ go hand in hand, and a low attention span is also a part of the equation. Wonder why British and American channels have so many commercial breaks? Because people's attention span limits their capacity to watch an entire program without multiple breaks. The same thing is occurring in China and parts of Europe (Greece, Denmark, Germany).

I think your statement is the most idiotic thing I have ever read you must be eating many hamburgers. There are so many commercial breaks due to revenue. That is how tv stations make thier money has nothing to do with attention spans. Why don't movies have commercials in the theaters? How could us big, fat, dumb Americans actually watch Lord of the Rings without commercials? Wow one of the worst posts I have read ever on any sight. Back to topic I am starting my cat on a stepper to prepare him for wiifit

 Yes, it is also due to revenues, but why do people put up with it? Research the subject (I'm studying nutrition) before you call me names and laugh me in the face. You don't think I know they make cash off of commercials? You must be on hamburgers mister.

People put up with it because it is given fact that without commericals there is no tv revenue which means they can't afford to pay people on tv. Just because you are studying nutrition doesn't mean you know anything you are talking about. Where is your proof? Do they test the same exact people after eating hamburgers for 1 year then have them stop for a year and see how much smarter they are and that their attention span is that much better afterwards? All studies into these type of things are just like meteorologists it's all a guessing game. I think we might get snow but if not we won't. I graduated one of the top in my class From University of Michigan and make a very good living, and many of the most intelligent people I know while I wouldn't call them obese they are overweight. Go back to your studies sir and come back to me when you have half the intellect I do. Also where in my statement did I call you names I must be unable to see my invisible writing where I call you names.

first it was just a joke
second this cat is sweet. why the hell i have only a tortoise? he can only pee and do a poo on balance board and those are the things i don't want to happen;/ i think the only reason for delay is that nintendo can't make enough fit for japan and there is "only"(it's a funny word if we think of) 5mln of wiis, and in america there is 9mln of wiis so it would be hard to make so many copies at one time.

Congratulations. According to your logic, that does not imply that you know what you're talking about (and besides, you could have a cooking or cleaning degree for all we know). You are the most childish and arrogant person on Vgchartz, live it up. That's all I wish to say.

Didn't Nintendo say that they wanted to delay Wii Fit for a bit until developers had some time to make games for it. Developers need to feel confident the board is also going to be a success and judging by Japan, it's going to be a hit in NA. They need to know that the board will have a userbase in the millions before they make invest in games for it. I don't think Nintendo wants too long of a window from the release until the time actual games come out for it. 1-3 months is fine but 6 months would be too long.
