Made popular by the recent commercial with the grandparents playing video games instead of spending time with the family, it is proven the Wii Fit is the best present to get your grandparents. The article states that although you might think you are getting a lot of exercise with these active games, you really aren't. Of course it's nothing like playing the actual sport. That's why this is a great way to get elderly people to play these games to just get a little more movement in their days. It's also shown that teens often get bored of these games and would rather be playing things with shooting and aliens since it is more entertaining.
Personally, I think this idea is ridiculous. I mean, come on, why would you grandparent honestly want a Wii. Then they have to go through the hassle of connecting it to their tv and then figuring out what button to push to turn it on. It's fine and dandy if you'd invite your grandparent to play with you but besides that the whole idea just sounds a bit silly to me.
