When is Microsoft going to step into the fitness pie? Maybe around Natal's release and I sure wish Sony would update Eyetoy Kinetic for the PS3 and advertise it with the brand relationship they have with Nike.

@main topic

yes that is a lot of exercise games, but most of them will suck just like the ones that came out in 08 like My Fitness Coach or Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2009 which sold ok, but isn't as good as the other options out there.

My Fitness Coach is actually a great game, it's just years onld. It was a PS2/Xbox/PC game from 2006 called Yourself! Fitness, My Fitness Coach is just a port. Thats why it doesn;t use any controls except for prompts. Ubisoft removed the eating tips and recipes from the Wii port too, which really made no sense.

The Jillain Michaels game is the worst, really poor controls. She made Majesco use another develpor for the sequel bacause the first one was a bad mark on her name, she has the highest selling fitness DVD's in history, and the worst shovelware fitness game released. I'd want a new developer as well. Same shovelware publisher though, Majesco.

The odd thing is she's also on that Biggest Loser game on THQ, how can she effectively promote 2 gamesusing her image from 2 seperate publishers during the same holiday season?

Like Wii Fit, but not quite like Wii Fit. It's designed to be complementary, with more of a focus on aerobics and upper body strength, as opposed to Wii Fit's focus on balance, lower body and core strength.

Nintendo released a succesful sports game everyone copy them.

I think a few companies might have been making sports games prior to Wii Sports.  Just a hunch.

I know My Fitness Coach was good, but not fully supporting all the Wii features is a major no go for me. However, I remember them having some legal problems over a contract about a fitness game and I almost think that My Fitness Coach was the result of Ubisoft trying to release a fitness game while still fufilling their contract.

Honestly I think EA Sports Active is the best attempt yet, but they could still improve. I really wish someone did a full step arobics with the Balance Board, and the dificulty/speed ramps up and down based on if you are missing any steps or not until you hit the max dificulty chosen by the user. Also, EA Sports Active doesn't exercise your upper body well enough and I actually switched out resistance bands to get a better exercise.
