Well, I think Wii Fit as a package will do really well. The idea of quick and easy diet sells well and once this hits the states girl mags and other stuff will be all over it. Plus, a lot of people that the Wii is currently appealing to due to Wii Sports will be turned on by something like this.

As for the balance board itself, it will really only benefit Nintendo. I don't see any massive 3rd party uses of the board. In the beginning there will be some attempts, but they would not do well and in the end Nintendo will be the only real benefitor to the device. 

 I know what you are saying. If I was the kind of guy who didn't workout, and thought the WiiFit was going to change that, i would probably just do that for a month and stop.

I am 38, and date a 26 year old aerobics instructor. She is motivation enough to not get fat. So regardless of if I like it or not, I am going to be working out. I would just like to find something that makes it a little more fun :).

Hopefully, this is it! The Spin Bike definitely wasn't :p 

You can play Namco Family Ski with it.

kingofwale, I own a Wii. Why don't you want to hear my opinion?

then wiifit may be PERFECT for you....u can work out on the bowflex and tell wiifit that you did that and it will include it in your stats...it can be your motivator...it isn't limited to only doing exercises on the balance board

Yeah, I think your posts speak for themselves.

that looks awesome IMO

Asking PS3 and Xbox 360 owners their feelings about Wii Fit and then expecting answers that aren't "tainted by fanboyism" is just illogical and completely ridiculous. 

You might as well survey only Nazis about whether Jews are decent people or not.

Now that I think of it, I might get a 3rd Wii when Wiifit comes out, so my girlfriend can have her very own.

I cannot understand why there are people out there who want this game so badly? I think part of it is that they want the Wii to succeed so much that they are willing to buy a game (can you really call it that?) that will probably gather alot of dust after the initial buzz of having a new game wears off and will see little use after a week.

Last time I checked, balancing on a board and doing gestures that the mini-games probably use will give you a slight cardio workout. Better then nothing, but nothing quite like the real thing. The joy of exercising for me involves the outdoors and getting fresh air. How motivated would a person be to exercise when they at first have poor cardio (most likely, we are gamers and many of us are far out of shape) and they have the TV right in front of them, and a couch right behind them and probably some hot pockets in the microwave.

Is it something that you will be forced to have so you are feigning interest in the game so your parents get off your back about playing games for too long in a day? That way you jump on your balance board and do your little "work out" for 5 minutes to placate your parents and then get back in couch potato position.

No matter what happens with this game, in no way would it convince me to go and buy a Wii and especially not buy this game. (Only way I'd buy a Wii is if my GF wanted one, but I wouldn't play it much and not wiifit at all). They could promise me one free hooker and I still wouldn't buy this game. (Unless the hooker is Scarlett Johansson).
