   I guess it’s because a lot of today’s younger generation are starting to become obese at a very high rate. And they are trying to motivate people into some sort of fitness while doing something they enjoy(video games). Also the makers of the game could be trying to have a big impact on both making money and showing their concerns of today’s consumers(health wise I guess).

   makes people move around more rather than/instead of just stand around moving the wii with only your hands or sitting on your bottom, while eating chips & drinking soda at the side.

   people actually burn alot of energy playing o.o

   In my opinion, they didn’t put that much sport games, I think they are proportional to the number of other games besides sports or fitness games. Only sport games I know is Wii Sports and Wii Fit. Other sports games are NFL, table tennis, wrestling [I think it's a sport], are on the PS3 and Xbox too not only on the Wii. Maybe it’s taking the advantage of motion sensing, that is why…

   So what you are meaning to say, that there should be more adventure game than fitness games? that’s it?

   Well, maybe it is because the controllers are fully motion sensitive, and you can actually play the sports, but if you are wanting a break from all of that, I reccomend Blazing Angels.

   its so active i guess thats what they focus on and the first thing that comes to mind. They do have a good amount of other games that are fun.

   The same reason McDonalds is offering salad, Juice, and fish. They don’t want to be associated with the negitive stigma of video games.
   So they are offering sports, fitness, and mind exersice games to show that there is more to games them mindless violence.

   The graphics have always been a priority for the last 15 years of gaming. But lets be honest, it gets boring watching the upgrades between sony and the likes just over graphics and more complex gaming.

   Now Nintendo have come back, just like they were the inventors and the leaders of the best games and toys 20 years ago. Ninendo revolutionised gaming back then.

   Gaming is now active and we will begin to see the future change. Nintendo have started a new generation. All the dreams of body suits and Sci fi movies when u can live and move the game will become a reality.

   And Nintendo are the ones starting the ball rolling,

   forget about fancy graphics, gaming used to be fun for a group of people, and now its fun again. It also appeals to us, the 30 year olds who remember the creation of games consoles and have watched the whole history form.

   Trust me Nintendo are a revolutionary company, they may not be the most talented at graphics but they always invent what the others cannot.

   Sony were making TV and stereos when Nintendo were making games and nothing else but games.

   The answer is because they want to make lots of money.
   Here is how:
   There is a massive population out there that didnt give a hoot about games consoles. These people like most people enjoy playing games. But they are totally turned off by words like sonic and metroid - the words you use.

   They associated it with being dull and geeky thats a fact.
   Nintendo thought how do we get these people to give us their money?
   Answer : make something that these people will like! and they will buy it.
   They attracted them by using sport and healthy fresh thinking games.
   These people include parents, and thoughtful parents who dont want there kids sitting in front of a screen like a vegetable. Hence parents (& grandparents!) will go out and spend huge sums of money to get something ‘good’ for their kids.

   I think i have made my point. Not the answer you want is it.. But thats the answer.

   Have fun with your sonic? metroid? thingies.

    Most gamer concerns are with the overabundance of lame minigames. Since suckers will buy the Wii because of it’s cheap price those same suckers will buy the lame minigames.
