The thing is, you can do your normal exercise routine and benefit from that but playing the Wii will burn even more calories. It's a supplemental workout.
Whatever works for someone shouldn't be shot down IMO. Wii and those other vitual games that get you moving really can be a bit of a work out. You might be surprised. I guess it depends on how much an individual moves when playing too.
people need to want to exercise, cause people now just want quick results.. you run a mile, at the end of it you are just sore and you still look like a fat ass.. at least playing a game you are having fun.. i mean yea, why not just go out and play the same game, but what is the difference? we're a technology centered society, so you might as well stop using electricity all together if you'd use that argument.. that's why i believe sex is the greatest exercise, cause it just feels great at the same time as you are working out ya know.. and it's 100% natural i got a cool idea though, you just rig up some machine to your fridge and stuff, and whenever you want to open the fridge or use an appliance or watch the tv or use your comp you gotta work out.. cause everything is just too easy to do nowadays, press a button and it's done fuck that
