Why do people buy Wii fit?

Maybe you guys can help me comprehend this because I don't understand it. Why do people pay 90$ to work out? What really gets me is that any sort of exercises you can do with a wii remote and Nunchuck can certainly be done without it. You can always use a scale to see if you are losing weight or not. Can you guys help me to fathom this? I don't understand why I should pay 90$ for exercises that I can do at home for free. YOu can just spend 10 extra $ and get two good games for it. Do you guys think that NIntendo knows that soem people are suckers? :o

To get Fit.

Because they like it? Personally I don't see what's great about Wii Fit as well but I do know that YOU are the sucker for not respecting other peoples opinion/taste on games. :roll:

When it comes to other genres like sports that is reasonable becuase some people want to be a managers but simply aren't able to because of issues in life or w/e(or they are aspiring managers and want to practice beforehand).

In other fantasy games I am not able to flip 13 times in the air survive a barrage of bullets and save the world all in the space of 60 hours.

If i had a GOOD reason why people bougth Wii fit then maybe I would respect their tastes better.

Some of them think it is a fun game but I believe most Wii Fit buyers think it is going to make them fit.

Because they find it interesting, fun, and helpful.

The same arguement could be used against the gym. Why pay when you can jog around the block for free?

Some people just enjoy it, so they can justify the price. It acts as a motivator of sorts, so they are more likely to stick with it. It doesn't make them suckers, it just means they have different taste to you.

Come back after you tried out Wii Fit and other games that use the blance board. After you do the ski jump or actually learn how keeping your blance centered while doing yoga and what not makes it just that much more effective. Buying the Wii Fit makes alot of sense to alot of people. Its a good introduction to exercise and gets you off to a great start. Yes, people can go to gyms or buy treadmills or jog at the park or buy exercise videos or other equipment, etc, etc, etc. Wii Fit and the balance board fit right in, they make it fun and easy. Give it a try to see what it is actually about, cause you obviously don't know yet. You may still not like it, but its a good product. But stop ranting when you don't know enough about what you are ranting about. Try it out and then come with an actual opinion and not some loose assumptions.

Because its fun. It takes exercise and puts it in the form of a game making it seem less like work and more like relaxation. I would never think "Hey let me do 20 push ups" when im bored but i would think to play a video game. Plus $90 once is cheaper than a gym membership

There is no reason why anybody needs to justify their tastes in video games, especially not to a forum dweller. Looking down on people that enjoy the types of software you dont is rude and elitist, and only reinforces this ridiculous notion of hardcore and casual terms for everything from players to games to consoles.

How much do you reckon is spent on the game, and how much on the peripheral? You seem to think that Wii Fit = Balance Board. You pay for both. You get some light entertaining software, and a peripheral that can be used with a variety of games, although admittedly its potential is yet to be tapped. But like I said, I dont really need to justify my taste to please some randomer on the internet.

I have Wii Fit, its great. Im not over-weight or under-weight im "ideal". I play it with my friends because it's proper funny and it's a nice thing to do when you have family over. So, really, it's another of Nintendo's "family game". Also, I want to be a MUSCCLLLEE MANNN *cough

For me, the game is not really a game. However, the balance board is nice a periphical to others games.

If you ever played Wii Fit you'd know how fun it is, especially with a group of people. The fact that you're having fun and getting a bit of a work out is awesome, and that's why people buy it.

Because deep down; gamers all secretly long to be hot babes. Especially the men. Wii Fit promises this will happen. Only a rough thirty percent of players become hot babes though. :(

I completely agree with you. In my opinion Wii Fit is the single worst thing to have ever been spawned by Nintendo's console. Its, to me, first party shovel ware that sold ridiculously well. I also hate the balance board and how some other games try to make people use it. Its just plain terriblesnowman6251
