Geez what a sensitive bunch...just stated an observation, most I know barely put more than a few hours into it, i'll admit I havent. I think its a neat peripheral, just seems that like most home exercise equipment more people bought it than actually used it. In my house the board actually gets used but its for games other than wii fit. I guess people would be offended if I mentioned that most wii owners I know picked up Wii Play simply for a cheap controller.

I wouldn't be offended, but I would wonder why people wanting a cheap controller would pay $10 more than they have to.
You're right that a lot of exercise solutions end up gathering dust in a corner, but every now and then one of these solutions sticks with a person for one reason or another. I think that's worth something when that happens. I've done a lot of things for exercise in my life, but Wii Fit is the only thing which has ever gotten me to do 100 crunches.
If my Wii Fit was gathering dust (it isn't, over 127 hours logged since last Christmas), it would be a much less expensive misadventure than my friend's derelict treadmill or my sisters' underutilized gym memberships. I'd say that for anybody who isn't getting enough exercise, it's worth the risk. They might find that the feedback and interactivity will blunt the boredom of most home exercise.
