Wii Fit #1 seller in Japan for last four weeks

Wii Fit looks interesting, to say the least. I asked myself a few questions when I first heard of it. Does it really inspire to exercise? How likely is it that a male with participate? How many calories do you really burn? Looking at this contraption, at least, does not convince me right away that this is a successful product. I see women doing some yoga-type exercises on this small white block, and I have no idea how it relates to video games. This little bit of information concerning the Wii Fit does not explain how it works nor how it inspires us to be healthy (standing in front of the television). Also, I cannot imagine many males using this. Not that they should not, but yoga-type of exercises are predominately practiced by females. For severely desperate people, this might be a good starter to exercise, but I definitely do not think it is the best. I believe getting outside and variation would do more good that the Wii Fit. And if they want to bring this to America, they are going to have to dramically change the weight limit.
