I have read a lot of your comments and here is an answer.
1. we do not have the lowest value of the dollar. I have been all over the world and can garuntee this.
2. We are the ones with the most obese people. nothing wrong with a little cushion for the pushin.
3. This is a great idea for wii. however if you feel the same way i do. I dont play video games to get in shape. Yet this will sell very well especially touching the adult fan base of new gamers.
4. Trust me when i tell you that you dont have to buy this to get into shape. all you need is a diet and do pushups, situps and jogging. That will work nomatter what you want to do.
5. The wii has sold 26 million units xbox360 has sold 17 million and ps3 has sold 13 million as of this juncture in time. The nintendo corp. is very smart in there tactics and marketing ability. This is by far the most inferior system on the market but has managed to outsell more then the other consoles combined. How long can nintendo keep this up we shall see. however it is amazing that how they are bringing in so much new clientel. Personally dont shoot me but i do not like the wii. i have the 360 and ps3. another reason that the wii has sold so much is because its the cheapest so parents feel like they are getting a deal by buying this for the kids and still able to say that they have a new console.
Look bottom line is wii is market for kids and inexperienced gamers in general. this does not represent everyone so relax. Microsoft is tageting teens and young adults and sony right now is marketing older teens and hardcore gaming adults. now all three companies are trying to change the marketing strategy for different age groups but over all they are all doing surprisingly well not leaving anyone in the dust. I am not for wii fit and think it is a waste of money when all you need is a little dedication and you dont need a fancy gym memebership ( although i have one) but if you are just trying to get in shape and not worried about body building then you can do it yourself and ill be happy to even tell you how nomatter what your size and weight. there are a lot of diets out there. diets dont generally work. you need exercise. but you dont need wii fit to get it. thankyou for your time.
