i know hah! ... i am enough of a nerd that i wore my HRM while playing my Wii a few times just to see it's reaction... with a decent enough game it would get my HR into the 50% range ... but thats about it ... that is still a huge improvement over sitting around and just mashing a button.

but of course, with a "sit down on your ass all day" console, you MAY develop mighty strong thumbs? =P

but yeah, the Wii has things like Wii fit and Wii sports, it can really help you to be a much healthier person >> believe it or not, it feels like an exercise when you play Wii sports properly xD

it is what would be considered a light aerobic workout ... that is for sure, which is a lot more then most people get ... and just doing that for 15 to 20 min a day every day can go a long way to helping someone ...

i do know about the stong thumbs tho ... i was one of the 'first kids' to suffer from 'nintendo thumb' though mine started with the Atari

i guess because i grew up with the Nintendo 'the glove' controller .. the Wii is just like second nature (and far less buggy) ...
I think the only game I've gotten up while playing on my Wii was wii sports, and zelda. Zelda i was bored and said why not, everything else planted on my arse. Wii is only "active" if you want it to be.
