Survey: Tony Hawk to get board peripheral on 360, PS3; new Spider-Man to use Wii Fit board
Sounds like the peripheral geeks at Activision got bored with plastic instruments and decided that balance boards were the wave of the future. The marketing survey scraping continues, with details on two different Activision franchises using two different board peripherals: an as-yet-unnamed Spider-Man title for Wii will support the Wii Fit balance board while Tony Hawk's Adrenaline will use "a new motion sensing board controller."
What's most notable about the Tony Hawk title: it's only listed for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC ... meaning, no Wii Fit balance board peripheral. Both titles appear to be designed from the ground up for their respective peripherals, with the Spider-Man game wrapping an action title around foot-based controls. Same rules apply for these two games as with everything scraped today: consider it rumor until Activision says otherwise. These could simply be concepts as opposed to actual games under development.

I don't know because I don't have Wii Fit and I never will own it. Maybe the thing is better than it looks but to me it just looks stupid. If anyone has it and loves it thats awesome. I have no had the chance to use it but then again there are plenty of other gimmicks I have never used and I know they suck.
The funny thing is its called Wii Fit but from what I have read it is not meant to help you lose weight. Rather, it is used to help you track weight loss. So, it really sounds as if it is just a glorified scale to me. Maybe I am wrong about it or maybe I don't understand its complexity and I am just over simplifying it.

Is it a visual representation of your weight fluctuation? It just does not make much sense to me on its surface especially for the price of the balance board.

As for this tony hawk board, theis will be the first THPS game I dont buy. The lure has always been about points and crazy combos for me. I dont even like skateboarding in real life. So making me balance on a skateboard to play the game is a HUGE turnoff for me.

So, in other words, Nintendo is driving the whole video game industry the way they want???
Then again, this is bussines, the race of the industry, what industry A has, will be copied by industry B and C, and viceversa

yes "bouth" companies are copying the 'A' bussines.
Most of the time it is referred to as 'Supply and Demand.'
Magazine add for Q Motions also lists PS3 in it's "Coming Soon" advertisement.
