Forums - Nintendo - Wii FIT FLAW?

Ok, how many have read this??

http://us.i1.yimg.com/videogames.yahoo.com/feature/wii-fit-or-wii-fat-/1213585

 

I think this little girls is fit, Muscle weighs more than fat, this is why the Wii fit registers her like this.

I thouhgt the Wii fit could check your body fat%, or does it??

If not I can't believe Nintendo would not spend a little bit more for a better scale.

I have a scale that calculates body fat % and weight.

Does anyone know if Wii fit does this or is the little girls Wii broke??

lol thats funny ....if you know your healthy and fit why would it matter if a machine calls you fat >.> some people jeez.



Wii Fit calculates BMI. The problem here is that BMI can be off a little depending on body dimensions, age, fitness, etc... Wii Fit listed this girl at the bottom end of overweight based on her BMI. This in itself is not Nintendo's fault, it's the fault of the BMI formula and its standardized index.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Good life lesson. If you let what a machine says hurt you, then it's your own damn fault, or in this case the parents fault.

I read about it in The Sun today, the problem is that people have to realise that there little cherubs are fat little pigs who live on fast food and chocolate and Wii fit is a game not an exact science, the next thing that will happen is that someone in America will sue Nintendo for there child's suicide from being called obese, they sue for everything else :)

It just calculates BMI, which is a load of bullshit medically.

With younger kids' rapidly changing bodies it may get tricky but I don't foresee a problem with adults. BMI is a very inaccurate tool to measure if you are fit but odds are if you work out and have a lot of muscle you'll know the deal with BMI and just ignore it when it calls you fat.



Posted already... By the way I am overweight
