    whats really weird is that the story in the mail was completely true, the woman hadnt realised that the disease was making her start to lean to one side, the balance board of course picked this up and she then went to the doctors and got a diagnosis, the one in the sun (owner : rupert murdoch of fox news and sky fame) was the usual story as youd expect about someone who had not only used wii fit but had made the effort to change other parts of her lifestyle too.

    Marketing for casuals. If this trend continues, gaming shall not be as great as it once was. Well, if Sony falls, that is. The only one of the big 3 that seem to be holding their great stance for core titles. Might just be because they fail at innovating. Too bad for them, good for me.

    And wow, why do I feel like that guy who speaks weirdly in Mass Effect 2. Doctor something. I write too many short sentences. Yaya

    Wii fit made me obese. Kinect gave me an erection lasting more than 4 hours and Move...don't get me started on Move.

    Nintendo Motionplus turned me into a newt!!!

    The losing weight one, well thats any fitness regime you can stick too if it helped some one lose weight thats great for them. I still wouldn't compare Wii Fit to a real gym lol

    As for the Parkinson's thing well while it might not be really related to the Wii balance board in specific at least its a good thing she found out about it early. I do not believe there is any cure but I think with early treatment, it can really help you live a longer healthier life.

    Just goes to show you never know whats going to be a good influence in your life and you get lucky sometimes.

    All companies are guilty of this type of crap. To them the bottom line is God and consumers are simple sheep to be manipulated. Which is why it's stupid to be a fanboy to a faceless corporation.

    Sony falling would in fact be something terrible, which is why they need to push a new market. LBP honestly is the only game I enjoy on the PS3, the rest are multi platform, and are better enjoyed with a wiimote or 360 controller..

    I bet Zeus would praise the lord if there were Kinect stories in those UK newspapers.

    Wait a sec... Isn't this just the same old UK Media crap that's been going on for ages?
    WTF is with this post assuming it's a PR stunt by Nintendo?! Also, I don't see a link to anything but a picture. Tell me this isn't another jab at Nintendo by Zeus for the sake of it. Seriously, am I missing something or is there some serious assumption going on here... and with UK tabloids?! This is the UK... where the worst stories are made up to make a buck.
