  He's right though - Outdoors excericise is better and achieves more results than the Wii Fit.

    But just how many people can drag their ass out of their house to go and exercise? I think Nintendo's main target market with the Wii Fit is the people who don't have the motivation/time/ability to go to the gym or just to step out for a jog. Or at least this should have been their intended audience, but they advertised it to the masses and I think that's why the Wii Fit's taking so much flack.

      I personally think that if a person is too lazy to drag their ass out to excercise, then they'll probably be too lazy for the Wii Fit as well.
      
      I think alot of the reason the Wii Fit is getting flack (besides the reason you mentioned) is that it is being marketed as a machine or game that will make a person fit. And when journalists and fitness experts realize that the Wii Fit won't make a person fit, they have a field day.

  At the same time though, Wii Fit's perfect for people who live in awful areas- If I were to go outside for a job i'd probably be doing it next to a motorway

  I completely forgot about this article. Anyways, yeah you raise a good point. Though I was going to say that location plays a role due to possible security concerns in some areas. But that isn't really a strong enough reason to go out and buy a $90 Wii Fit which might begin to collect dust after a couple of weeks.
  
  You made good points GG and I have to agree with both of them. I think the issue of laziness is extremely important when it comes to this. I find it hard to motivate myself to exercise by myself, and I guess my inherent laziness kicks in. Yet, when I go to my trainer it's like I must go and make the most out of the time.

  Its just a game, it isnt actually meant for exercise, the guy needs to calm down.
