But minus the massive amount of "sarcasm" in this thread,

Haha, yeah, sarcasm. I'm just throwing that at Typhoid because it seems like his response to any rebuttal to any of his arguments is "I was being sarcastic" .

Hey, Typhoid, don't read that. If you did, I was just -- you guessed it -- being sarcastic.

I do think videogames somehow substituting basic outdoor activities and exercise is very dangerous. Isn't our society lazy enough already?

I would agree if I thought they were replacing outdoor activities. For many people (if not most), it wouldn't be substituting outdoor activity and exercise, it would be filling that gap. It might even move them on their way to more strenuous exercise outdoors. That may sound like a longshot, but I know for me the hardest part of exercising is starting back up again after I've lost my routine. After a couple weeks of getting back into a routine, exercise becomes addictive and I want to do more and more of it.

Btw, here are some impressions I just read from the Japanese release of Wii Fit
