While many, such as Michael Torchia (previous coverage) might be launching lawsuits against Nintendo and comparing games companies to the tobacco industry, it's good to see that others are taking a more reasonable approach.

In this article from Canada.com, Rob Adams, regional director of Ottawa’s Metro Central YMCA-YWCA, says much more measured and sensible things about Wii Fit and other exercise games like Dance Dance Revolution.

Many others seem to take the view that because Wii Fit is not that same as going to the gym for hours on end, that it has no value. This is an idiotic and short-sighted idea, that because something is not perfect, that it isn't worth doing.

No, Wii Fit is no substitute for a sensible diet, it won't magically make you fit, for many people it is a real step up, and something that fits in with their life-style. It is also fun, and people tend to keep doing things that are fun. People like Michael Torchia, with their black and white views on what constitutes exercise are the kinds of people that put so many other's off sports and fitness, especially in school.

So lets hear it for those that know a good thing when they see it, and understand that not everyone wants to pound the treadmill for hours every day.
