Wii Lack Devotion

The lasting appeal of Wii Fit is, apparently, less than stellar, as a recent Japanese poll shows that a large number of people have stopped playing the game shortly after purchasing it. It seems that while the novelty value of using the board may have enticed some people to exercise more in the beginning, the game's entertainment value simply isn't enough to keep up with the laziness of the average person. I guess when you get past the colorful visuals, and you start to feel that lactic acid burn, people start to realize that it really is still exercise at its core.

Obviously, this poll only represents a small minority of the people who own the game, but if further research indicates similar perceptions then it's funny to think that Dance Dance Revolution may have actually been more successful as a fitness tool in the long run. That game is far past its prime at this point, but stories about the game's tendency to create calves of steel still circulate at campfires and marshmellow roasts.
