I never understood the fascination of Wii Fit. It's like people are too lazy to go to a gym that they have to get their exercise from a video game. I wonder how many balance-related activities are needed to equal my usual workouts.


1.  Some people are embarassed to go to the gym.

2. Some people don't have enough money to get to a gym.

3.  Some people work strange hours making it difficult to get to the gym.

4.  Some people like video games, and like working out, and therefore being able to combine the two into the limited free time they have.

5.  Wii Fit is more fun than typical excercise, and some people need a spoonful of sugar to make the medicine go down.

6.  Some people have never worked out regularly and need an easy or low impact routine to get into it.

7.  Some people like to supplement heavier workouts with lighter ones on off days.

8.  Not all activities are balance related.  Push ups for instance are push ups.

9.  The balance board is an incredibly accurate scale, and that alone is worth about 50 bucks.

10.  Some people legitimately need to work on their balance.

11.  With the balance board you can use Wii Fit while watching TV instead of just sitting.

12.  Some people are busy and do not have a gym nearby.

Lots of great reasons to use Wii Fit.  You may not get it, and it may not be for you, but don't make the egocentric assumption that "not for you" means "bad product".

Isn't that the whole point? Exercising in the convenience of your own home. Besides you can get a great workout with wii fit with the right routine.  Plus there are many testimonies of people who have lost weight with wii fit, I myself are one of them.


I've used it a couple times, and while it might shake a few pounds here and there, you can do a TON more in a gym. I regularly do P90x, Insanity, and compete in local marathons as well as weight lifting competitions in the military. But if you want to keep balencing on a plastic board be my guest xD

What works for somebody won't work for everybody I guess!

I think you're fitness regime may be more strenuous than many want...

I personally don't see anything wrong with making exercise a game, though I must admit I haven't actually tried any of these games

There are also people losing weight by eating less and saving money in the process. You can get a great workout by being naked in an empty room if you want to. You can exercise in the convinience of your home or your neighbours bathroom no TV or Console necessary.

Not that I think Wii fit is a bad thing but its motivating people to perform basic exercises they just wouldn`t do on their own without a tv telling them what to do, some people need that. But the marketing of Wii fit tried to turn it into some miracle cure for overweight which is plain stupid. A chair can give you a better workout.

In spite of metacritic, Knack is good to me. Think about it as a launch title, just that.

Oh IGN.

You so silly.



So will Xbox Fitness get reviewed? Because it looks pretty good.



Not surprising. It's probably better than both combined.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
