Ferris Bueller:

wife likes it. I’d rather hit the weights and the treadmill.

I have thought about buying the Wii just for the Wii Fit feature. Since I know your wife is in good shape.. Does she say that it "really" works?

Nintendo has made huge sums of money roping non gamers and, in this instance, non-fit people in front of "games".

I would not say Wii Fit is by any means a healthy substitute to working out, but it certainly a fantastic way to introduce people to fitness. I know a guy who used this for two months before feeling confident to go into a gym to purchase a membership.

Honestly, I wasn’t interested for myself.  I was hoping my wife would like it, with something like this in mind:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v31qxrXsxv0&feature=related
