I really don't understand how. I'm not even trying to be funny, sarcastic, and I haven't slept for 48 hours so everything is coming at me real simple:

Why do I need this electronic white board (probably expensive) to do push ups?

Why do I need it to stretch? to do yoga? to jump up and down? stand on one leg?

Forget all the bashing, fanboyism, parody videos, everything about Wii Fit and look at it for what it is, and tell me it isn't one of the stupidest ideas you've ever seen.

Now that you've done that, tell me why this thing is gonna sell like mad? Because you know deep down, it will.

An insaely dumb/smart move by nintendo.

Easy.. They made some simple into gameing that can easily be done without VG. Like sports game, example - it's a good summers day outside. Basketball court is empty. Yet I wanna play a sport vg instead. It's just an different alternative.

Hopefully it makes working out more fun. If it does, I might get it. If the price is ok, too.

Oh, and I'm not buying it. It is pretty dumb, I wonder what the mass market will think. I think it could flop sales wise.

I'll buy it, won't hurt to try it.

Atleast their bringing something new to the table. Would you rather if Miyamoto made another FPS, another adventure game? If you don't like it, why do you care?

Nintendo is making money, hate all you want. Thats their main goal. Their not going to try to target you because you have the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 to keep you occupied.

Insanely dumb to target casual gamers and profit off of it?

It's more or less nintendo trying to broaden out the Wii's appeal to the non-gamer. I just hope they don't sacrifice the gamers to do it...

It would even take the hand the skittles were in. They get viscious when skittles are involved.

Do nongamers like skittles? And if they do, are they geese?

I'll have to stick a handful of skittles out to nongamers to determine that. Hope I don't lose my hand...

look at this goose going after skittles

I dont like the idea. I think the biggest thing it has going for it is the fact that its released on the day when most people say theyre going to excersice, Jan 1.

I personally think it will bring an interactive aspect to exercising. I'm not going to do pushups on my own just to do them. If there is actually some interactive software that I can use for workout then I will. Its a wonderful idea by Nintendo.
