Wii Fit already Sold Out Before Its Release On Friday!
After the success of Nintendo’s Wii Sports, they are now jumping on the fitness and wellness bandwagon by releasing Wii Fit. Wii Fit is proving to be so popular that it has already sold out, and it has not even been released yet. The RRP for the game is £69.00, which makes it an expensive addition to the Wii family of games, but the dynamic nature of the Wii is really motivating people to play and exercise. The game uses a balance board, and fitness activities include downhill skiing and football, as well as a series of core workouts, yoga, and other fitness training programs.
Having your own Wii Fit is more like an interactive DVD tutorial than a personal trainer, but it is certainly a step in the right direction for virtual health and fitness advice. It cannot be long before technology has advanced enough to allow everyone to have a 24/7 virtual fitness instructor in their living room to help them get fit and in shape.
However, the big question is, will people remain motivated? And is it really comparable to joining a fitness club, and having real physical interaction with other people. Wii martial arts, or Wii Rugby, would provide and interesting challenge for Nintendo. But yoga, pilates and circuit training, really can be done, to a beginners level at least, with Wii Fit on the Nintendo.
Anything that gets people interested in exercise and fitness must be a good thing though. We predict Wii Fit to be one of the top ways for people to become reintroduced to fitness this year. The Beijing Olympics may motivate some people to get out and join a fitness club, but the Wii Fit will get people hoola-hooping and skiing in their living rooms and bedrooms all over the country.
