To nintendoforever: They weren't really trying to put Ninty down, at least not in my interview. They wanted to talk about the exercise angle.

EktBoy: actually, a LOT of elderly/care homes are getting Wii's to promote Range Of Motion exercise and social gathering

GoLuckyOoops.... Yes, you are 100% right; my sorry butt is lazy.

Thanks for the resurgence of interest in the video :) I never claimed to be injured, just sore. Also, if your argument is "You don't need to stand up for..." or whatever, then I can't defend any of my statements; for the most part, you don't *NEED* to swing your arms or but effort into your movements for the Wii.. but then, what's the point :)

not expensive. 250 half of ps3

[flare576]

I believe he was talking about the PS3 since the Wii is neither a power hog nor is it expensive.

WTH was that rocky in the beginning?

Um when I first saw the trailer of Wii, I thought this was just another fail attempt from nintendo. I thought it would have shitty motion detectors and graphics. But guess what? My parents got me a Wii for christmas. And wow, in about 15 minutes I totally felt in love with it! It AMAZING! Specially mario kart frickin rocks. And no there are barely any injuries, so I do recommend this console to EVERYONE of ANY age.

Wii is actually better in a way because you're not sitting down on your ass and everything. You could still get a bit of a workout and an Xbox 360 is good too, but it's still a fun console. Although, I don't actually own a 360 so I can't say if it's fun or not. And Nintendo made a huge comeback, just wait till Xbox and PlayStation tries to copy...

[ChromatopelmaDude]

Well, the Wii is rather childish and not as fun as the PS3, but the exercise you get from Wii is a hundred times more fun than going out for a run!

I have both... If I want to have fun, I'll play FIFA Street V3 on the PS3 or Blazing Angels. If I need some fat-burning, I play Wii-Sports Boxing and Tennis.

The only things that suck about the Wii is the geeky Japanese games you can buy (like Zelda). Oh, and Wii Golf sucks ass too!

[DeepSpectrum]

wii sucks anyway why buy it its a piece of SHIT get a xbox360 or ps3 its way better then the Nintendo shit

[nintendoforever1995]

I know but i was just saying...since this video reminded me of that

[GoLuckyOops]

If you are sore after you play wii then that means you need real exercise haha

[EktBoy]

WII ARE FOR KIDS AND TEENS BUT NOT OLD PEOPLE
